Assange complaint to two journalists for the Guardian for libel

Sydney. WikiLeaks .- founder, Julian Assange said today the Australian television has accused of defamation for journalists David Leigh and Luke Harding, the British newspaper The Guardian. In an interview from the UK to the "7:30 Report" on ABC television in Australia, Assange said that the statements attributed to him both in his recent book "are completely false." Leigh Harding, research editor and correspondent in Moscow, respectively, attributed to 'WikiLeaks and Assange' the Australian computer's comment that if the informants mentioned in the documents about the war in Iraq are murdered, as part of its action and not should surprise.

The respondent insisted that everything is false, adding that much poison in the dome of the business press and many stabs. " "Unfortunately it appears we're on the side of those who receive from these individuals," said Assange, without mentioning names. "There are right-wing politicians in the United States, as Sarah Palin, calling for our death, kidnapping, rendition, etc.," Assange said, adding that many of these comments "are a little beyond the rhetoric and can inflame mentally unstable people.

" Australia also added there are bills in the Senate that seeks to declare WikiLeaks staff as "enemy combatants", like the Taliban or Al Qaeda members. Assange, facing extradition proceedings in Sweden for alleged sex crimes, said that WikiLeaks has reported about 7,000 U.S. embassy cables and increased its publication last year.

Named as Person of the Year by Time magazine, said his organization Assange done "good work" and that the processes and pitfalls facing represent a "small price" to be paid for "something that is deeply significant."
