Of course he is

That's the whole point, and I really think you know that. Critics keep saying, "So you must think it would be okay if Assange released your credit card or medical information?" No, and that's not what he's releasing. -- Drew

And quotes from his insiders have him as the "king"...not a benevolent leader of a team... So, is he not becoming what he claims to be fighting against? Hence the irony? Sure, understanding today's complex world of the future is a little like having bees live in your head. But...there they are.

I'm certain he feels that by taking down the big guy he will "open the eyes of the world to the evils of big business"...and he will be doing so by hand picking over the information he has and releasing what he wants to various news organizations. I fail to see any difference in what he is doing to what the swedish prosecution did by picking over the information that he had and releasing what he wanted to the various news organizations. Sorry...just because one is "big government" and one is "little internet web guru" doesn't invalidate the exact duplication of methodology. Sure, understanding today's complex world of the future is a little like having bees live in your head. But...there they are.

I don't think he's out to "open the eyes of the world to the evils of big business", he's out to "open the eyes of the world to the evils of big business as it's currently practiced". Because as it's currently practiced, it is evil. And are you sure you want to discuss the exact duplication of methodology? It is, after all, exactly the methodology practiced by the press the world over (or at least, the press in the West). It seems the problem is not the fact of selective presentation of what happened, but what the selection actually is that's the problem for most of our elites.
