WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange appeared on 60 Minutes last night. Steve Kroft spent two days with Assange at the estate of friend Vaughan Smith, where under the conditions of his bail, Assange must stay while he is under house arrest.
"Our founding values are those of the U.S. revolution. They are those of people like Jefferson and Madison. If you're a whistle-blower, and you have material that is important, we will accept it, we will defend you, and we will publish it. You can't turn away material simply because it comes from the United States," Assange said during the interview.

There is no proof WikiLeaks' fundraising body, the Sunshine Press, is breaking the law in its home base of Iceland, said Teller AS, a Norway-based financial services company asked by Visa to investigate the matter.
“Our lawyers have now completed their work and have found no indications that Sunshine Press ... acted in contravention of Visa's rules or Icelandic legislation,” Teller's chief executive Peter Wiren said.

No Link Between Assange And Manning
By Jerry Smith Jan 26 2011

U.S. military investigators announced that they have been unable to find a link between WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and Army Private Bradley Manning, the alleged source of the 'Cablegate' documents.
The investigators failure to establish any link between Assange and Manning means that it will be harder for the U.S. to press charges against Assange, and have him extradited to the U.S., possibly to face the death penalty.

Julian Assange and Sarah Palin
By Jerry Smith Jan 25 2011

People, mostly American right wingers, have been calling for the U.S to have Assange extradited to the U.S., charged with treason and sentenced to the death penalty. Lawyers for Assange have accused Swedish authorities of secretly planning to extradite him to the US as soon as it has built a criminal case against him.
"Why was he not pursued with the same urgency we pursue al-Qaeda and Taliban leaders?" asks Sarah Palin.

WikiLeaks defectors Herbert Snorrason, Daniel Domscheit-Berg and others have started a new site called 'OpenLeaks'. Their goal is to create a site in which anonymous sources can submit information while remaining anonymous.
When asked about OpenLeaks Assange said "The supply of leaks is very large. It's helpful for us to have more people in this industry. It's protective to us." Herbert Snorasson said their website will not compete with WikiLeaks, and Assange himself agreed.
