Οι πρόεδροι στις ΗΠΑ έχουν γίνει διακοσμητικοί πολύ πριν να γίνει το ίδιο και στην υπόλοιπη Δύση. Το παρακράτος φρόντισε να το δείξει σε όλους τους ενδιαφερόμενους από την εποχή των Κέννεντυ, για να μην μπαίνουν και ιδέες στα μυαλά τους. Τώρα δυστυχώς κάνει το ίδιο και για τη δημοσιογραφία, χρησιμοποιώντας αυτή τη φορά τον Ασανζ ως σκιάχτρο.

Για αυτό είναι και τόσο προκλητικά σαθρό και το κατηγορητήριο. Να βλέπουν άλλοι δημοσιογράφοι και δυνητικοί πληροφοριοδότες και να ξέρουν πως το σύστημα θα λειτουργήσει εντελώς εκδικητικά, ακόμα και όταν δεν υπάρχει το παραμικρό διαθέσιμο πρόσχημα.
