Here's a theory (just a theory): Assange is a stooge of a foreign power trying to undermine the West. Could be China, Russia, N. Korea, Iran -they all hate us. His job is to create a whistleblower persona and 'leak' phony docs that make our gov'ts look bad. Our side can't just say 'that's fake' because no-one will believe us and there's no way to prove it anyways.

Again, just a theory. For all I know he could be legit and either way it doesn't change the fact that our rulers are assholes. It's just interesting to ponder who 'wins' when our gov't gets publicly shamed.

And it's not like ambassadors aren't prime targets for espionage. So, how do you know Murray is living hand-to-mouth? 'Cause he says so in his blog?
