In other words, WikiLeaks is the creation of some smart guys who were inspired by Timothy C. May, Eric Hughes, Murray Rothbard, and a few others. Assange was part of this group and an intriguing thinker in his own right. Assange explained what WikiLeaks would be doing, and why, back in 2006, and you can still find copies of that work here[1]. Given the worldwide recognition of WikiLeaks, it's a little crazy that this is so little known and discussed, but I'll do my part to change that condition.
