Freedom of Information can create martyrs.

I've heard a lot of talk about Julian Assange being assassinated for releasing those embarrasing cables on the US governent lately; it strikes me as odd that grown men will openly discuss their wish for Assange to die on national television. If anybody makes a move on him and he dies, it won't make Wikileaks go away by a long shot. My guess is that Assange would become a martyr for social freedoms, in that he would die trying to defend our right to know what our governments do overseas. The slander aside, I think Assange has done some really big things. Dead or not, he's made his mark, and it's going to stick.
