Wikileaks is becoming one of its own valid stories
Wikileaks is desperately attempting to become a story. By doing so, they're detracting attention from the actual important stories that they run. What are we debating here: the mass murder of innocent civilians, or Wikileaks?

They're harassed at the international level
No. No, they are not. You've bought Assange's story. There is no evidence, other than his assertions, that he is being "harassed" at any level, let alone the international. Remember when he claimed his passport had been "seized", and it turned out to be that all that happened was that it had been pointed out to him that it was due to expire?
He's been threatening to release these videos and documents for months now, in what has become a rather pathetic attempt to get some attention from the Big Bad US. That shows that he's more interested in becoming a cause célèbre than in actually doing what he set out to do: publish and damn their eyes.
The man has or had good intentions, but now he's pulling a Jimbo Wales, and getting delusions that he's bigger than his creation, when he needs to be as anonymous as his sources.

I like how Jimbo is an example of attention whoring coming from the founder of a nonprofit. It looks like WR's finally influencing opinions.
