5. Maybe the easiest place is the WL Twitter feed.

Go to Twitter and search Wikileaks. It will pop right up, you don't need to subscribe or anything.

6. From a legal standpoint - "No News is Good News" for him

If I was his lawyer I would be telling him to do every thing possible to attract as little attention as possible right about now

9. Aww, that makes too much sense.

Conspiracy theories and nefarious plots are so much more ... dire!

But yeah, if I were his lawyer, I agree with you-- I'd be telling him to STFU, stay out of the lime light, and learn how to say "No comment" to anyone who asked him anything.

10. If I were his lawyer, I would be thinking about what kind of deal I could make.

13. I read that he had new lawyers. Most likely, they are advising him to keep quiet until after a trial
