How do you go after WikiLeaks unless you go after NY Times?
Video: Wikileaks Founder Assange Worked In UK ‘Bunker’ With NY Times On Afghan War Leak
An Australian reporter actually accompanied Wikileaks founder Julian Assange as he went into hiding and prepared to leak the 90,000+ pages of classified Afghan war reports.
He made a documentary called “Inside Wikileaks” that you can watch below. Assange says he huddled at The Guardian HQ in the UK (or bunker as he calls it) with a reporter from the NY Times, Der Spiegel and The Guardian to work on the leaked documents.
Towards the end of the show when it’s time to go public with the documents along with the cooperating media outlets, The Times emails Assange and tells him they don’t want to publish first. They ask him to go public on Wikileaks first to give them cover.
