Interesting choice for your red photo. Happy Ruby Tuesday!

I haven't yet made up my mind. He has certainly thrown traditional media types for a loop - and I think they had it coming. I worry about the disregard for safety though, when people are 'outed' so indiscriminately.

Such an interesting, controversial topic!Glad to see you back lola!

And no, haven't made up my mind yet either.

Holly said...

For me, he's a freedom fighter.

Robin said...

So far I'm leaning more towards reckless endangerment than defender of freedom, but the jury's still out.

Tend to reckless endangerment too. Good post.

Michelle said...

Just learnt he's now acquired some potentially explosive material about tax avoidance from Swiss whistle blower!

Mike said...

Jury's still out for me too...

I'm afraid I don't know who this is, Lola. Want to tell me about him... :)

maryt/theteach said...

Ah, he's the head of WikiLeaks... That I've heard about! :)

Dimple said...

I think the truth must be told, and the mainstream media doesn't tell it.
But I have never been to Wikileaks, either.

Happy Ruby Tuesday Lola!

Mine's here.

Don't know, really haven't thought about this subject.

Only know of him as I heard about him on the news and of Wikileaks.

Thanks for popping by my blog and commenting.

I only heard a bit of this from my dad. Basically, I think people shouldn't talk behind people's back. Just say the truth to avoid embarrassing their selves if someone caught them.

Rolling around,
Berlin

Personalized Sketches and Sentiments said...

hm...I had read a little about him. I wish that I had a little better understanding about computers and such, but definitely not to the scale of someone like this guy...that's way too much computer understanding when someone has the ability to "hack" information from other people's computers, etc...

...hope to get my computer skills to help me join in for the next Alphabe-Thursday...& not be so late! :o)

Blessings & Aloha!
Thank you for stopping by!

I have a lot of mixed emotions on this whole matter! What a thought provoking post, though!
