Julian Assange has decided to cause more waves.
The Wikileaks founder, who is currently fighting extradition to Sweden, where he has faced allegations of sexual assault, has decided to ruffle feathers by claiming that the FBI tried to bribe the organisation's staff. That's according to the Daily Telegraph.
He's also waded into the controversial superinjunction world, claiming that he was prepared to reveal the names of individuals covered by these if he got hold of who was hiding behind these legal barriers.
Speaking at the Telegraph Hay Festival Mr Assange told delegates that the internet did not give people "free speech." He said those who practised this and revealed secrets online were "hounded from one end of the earth to the other".
He said that his much famed whistle blowing organisation had been at the forefront of a range of challenges including ones from the FBI, which had moved in to tempt his staff to talk with a range of bribes.
And he also had more than enough to say about the ongoing superinjunction topic, claiming that there were some 200 or so outstanding superinjunctions in this country.
However, although he admitted to previously publishing a handful of superinjunction information in the past, he said that Wikileaks could turn to one of these in the future to protect its sources.
We, the public, also got more than a dig from Assange, with the Wikileaks founder accusing us of having “a rather annoying middle-class squeamishness” over the publication of secret cables and documents.
The speech was made to A list elite including Vanessa Redgrave and Ralph Fiennes as well as us old nobodies. We're sure his claims will please the UK justice system no end.
It never ends. Assange is right.
Go, Julian, Go!
That right Julian, put it in your pantry with your cupcakes... It's a little secret, just the Robinsons' affair... Most of all, you've got to hide it from their kids__ But no. You tell dirty jokes like that when in mixed company. For Shame! That ain't the way I heerd it. Lookie Homer, why for havin sakes could you not be more the Burlington Liars' Club sort of chap? Admitted you do come mite close how you alus go on about how big your private is.
When you're done screwing the pooch and her litter there private Benjamin Braddock, spread eagle it all about just for sloppy seconds, widj yah? Laugh about it, shout about it. When you've got to choose, ev'ry way you look at it, what do you have to lose?
Ye suffer by the fault of the Pharisee who would not see off the endz of his own peacock.
I swayaer, I can't take you anywhere, especially Sodermanland. ö

Welcome to war, MIC-style. Their knee-jerk response spoke volumes.
