Assange wasn't after the truth.  He wanted to be recognized as the little guy who took down the Leviathan - the one who changed US policy.  He taunted America by pompously commanding that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama quit their jobs, as if he had any right to make such a demand, given the fact that he's not even a citizen of the United States.

Nicki at the Liberty Zone calls it on how Julian Assange is painting himself as the victim and martyr in the names of Truth and Justice, while Assange basically says "If my information disclosures get people killed, fuck'em, sucks to be them, it's not my problem."

Note the second update in particular.

Mr. Assange is not a sympathetic character.
