"I do not forgive or forget."

Oh for crying out loud, apparently 7 years hiding out in an embassy didn't teach him anything about humility. WikiLeaks is and always was an ego trip by a bunch of wannabe hackers who imagine themselves the protagonists in some kind of cyberpunk dystopia.

Look at everything Assange has ever said about himself or WikiLeaks. He relentlessly asserts that he is holding governments accountable, but gets defensive at any suggestion that he himself should be accountable to anybody. It's a classic "Who guards the guardians?" problem. The attitude was there when he was leaking Manning's US government document dump (when much of the left was cheering him, willfully blind to the issues it created), and became even worse when he was leaking the DNC emails -- trickling them out in order to inflict maximum damage on Clinton's campaign.

Assange is a deluded narcissist. If you need a hero for openness and transparency, look elsewhere.
