In the news

It's not a crude hatchet job. There's clearly frustration at Assange reneging on the book, but Hagan spent a lot of time with him and actually tells it fairly straight.

Instead of speculating based on a shittily selected set of bullets in BI, read the piece at LRB - http://www.lrb.co.uk/2014/02/21/andrew-ohagan/ghosting

FWIW

Daniel Bergs book/Fifth Estate film paints a very similar picture of Mr Assange.

Overall the people involved in Wikileaks are largely irrelevant, we shouldn't get tied up in the "celebrity" type story there. It was merely an interface to get a lot of secrets out in the public, which it did. And we should focus on them. If we are to be interested in individuals, surely it should be those behind or victim of the disclosed atrocities not so much the people who ran a website which published information about it.
