From Apple to his own once-loyal followers, Julian Assange is suffering from a lack of support on all sides. The future of Wikileaks is questionable at best.

Openleaks to be Launched by Former WikiLeaks Staff

, Dec 10th 2010 Discuss [7]

Dagens Nyheter reports that their action is to be in protest of their former leader Julian Assange. Why?
