Julian Assange is the most intelligent, interesting, and informed man in existence.

Yes- I think he's quite sexy.

He has tremendous strength and stamina- though vulnerable.

Hard to imagine him that way - as capable as he is.

But, he is up against the biggest super powers in the world.

I've spent enough time with

him, to be absolutely

sure of his intentions-

They are good ones.

He is on the side of every civilian. And,

he is exposing corruption

in governments we elect.

People need to understand that.

And, sift through the propaganda - on TV -

I give up on watching the news-

The truth is-

Julian has ruffled a few very powerful feathers-

who will stop at nothing to discredit him,

or worse-

So,

Any time anyone maliciously,

or frivolously mentions 'rape' next to his name -

they need to understand it is defamation.

We are all innocent until proven guilty.

And-

There is no rape -

it is a case of condom or not.

It is ridiculous.

This has been recklessly politicized.

And, it is embarrassing for all involved.

Sweden is a wonderful country. Stockholm is one of my favorite places on earth to visit.

It is silly to continue this.

I'm sure they want this behind them, as much as anyone.

It is complex -

and there are powerful people trying to control the outcome. .

but-

The only way to deal with the big bully on the playground -

Is for someone brave to stand up to them.

Make them realize

they are just like everyone else, no matter how big they think they are,

where they live,

or economic status -

and, show them

that their usual controlling and abusive scare tactics don't work.

The more we know,

the safer we are...

There are no secrets anymore.

And,

some people don't like that.

The truth is a powerful and wonderful thing.

As humiliating as it might be for those being exposed.

I am forever grateful to all whistle-blowers.

(Who risk everything for us.)

The world is a safer place because of you.

And

Thank you to my hero's at

Wikileaks,

and of course -

I will always stand by

My

Julian ...

Love,

Pamela
