Don't be so quick with the high fives because you should expect to accept the good and the bad.
Besides, the Nobel prize ain't what is was once upon a time.
Also, in this interview with Assange by The Economist, at 5:29 Assange is asked essentially if he is able to decide the outcome of the documents he releases. Listen carefully to what he says. He "strips the bad" and "leaves the good" (I'd recommend watching the whole thing)
Well that's pretty subjective don't you think? Who's to say that what *he* thinks is good, isn't just something to further his own agenda? So there you go, outright admittance from Assange himself that he keeps selective truths and leaves out other things.

He runs a leak site. He's not supposed to "edit" anything. What's the point of leaks if you subjectively edit out information?
Edit: well besides maybe names for obvious reasons. I wasn't making any assumption. I'm going by what came right out of Julian's mouth, and if you still don't believe it, then...wow...all I have to say.edit on 3-2-2011 by apodictic because: (no reason given)

After they gave it to Obama it kinda lost it's worth but they've been making up for it ever since.

That is so true it hurts. The Nobel Peace prize lost all meaning to me when President Obama received his. That action was a cruel joke and a huge insult to all the former Prize recipients.
