Assange says there is a 'lot more to come'

Thu, 16 Dec 2010

London - WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said in London Thursday there was "a lot more information to come" from the leaked US diplomatic cables currently being published by his organization.

He claimed the cables in WikiLeaks' possession showed that US ambassadors around the world were instructed to "steal the DNA" of human rights leaders and UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.

The leaked cables displayed "a gradual shift to a lack of rule of law in US institutions that needs to be exposed and we have been exposing," Assange said during an impromptu encounter with reporters after his release Thursday.

People had a "right to know" that US ambassadors were tasked to "engage in espionage behavior" without contacting the governments of their host countries, said Assange.

Referring to the widespread condemnation by governments of the activities of WikiLeaks, he said, "WikiLeaks is a resilient organization, that can withstand decapitation attacks," according to the Press Association.
