Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks, has announced that the group will release a new batch of secret information.
Assange, speaking through a video feed on Saturday to a crowd of more than 3,000 people at the South by Southwest Interactive conference in Austin, Texas, said he wouldn't share details about the timing or contents.
"I don't think it's right to give the perpetrator the heads up," Assange said.
Wikileaks, which started in 2006, leaks classified documents under a philosophy of increasing government transparency. State Department communications and military field reports from wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were among the classified documents given to Assange by the former Pfc. Bradley Manning, who was sentenced to 35 years in a military prison.
Assange, 42, who is holed up in the Ecuadorian embassy in London to avoid extradition in a Swedish sexual assault investigation, told the conference that the National Security Agency is losing the public relations battle since the revelations by Edward Snowden. The disclosures show a "military occupation" in the Internet's "public space."
The NSA doesn't get enough oversight from President Obama's administration, he said.
"Who really wears the pants in the administration?" Assange asked.
Snowden, who is living in Moscow, will speak on Monday through a video link.
TribLive commenting policy
You are solely responsible for your comments and by using TribLive.com you agree to our Terms of Service.
We moderate comments. Our goal is to provide substantive commentary for a general readership. By screening submissions, we provide a space where readers can share intelligent and informed commentary that enhances the quality of our news and information.
While most comments will be posted if they are on-topic and not abusive, moderating decisions are subjective. We will make them as carefully and consistently as we can. Because of the volume of reader comments, we cannot review individual moderation decisions with readers.
We value thoughtful comments representing a range of views that make their point quickly and politely. We make an effort to protect discussions from repeated comments — either by the same reader or different readers.
We follow the same standards for taste as the daily newspaper. A few things we won't tolerate: personal attacks, obscenity, vulgarity, profanity (including expletives and letters followed by dashes), commercial promotion, impersonations, incoherence, proselytizing and SHOUTING. Don't include URLs to Web sites.
We do not edit comments. They are either approved or deleted. We reserve the right to edit a comment that is quoted or excerpted in an article. In this case, we may fix spelling and punctuation.
We welcome strong opinions and criticism of our work, but we don't want comments to become bogged down with discussions of our policies and we will moderate accordingly.
We appreciate it when readers and people quoted in articles or blog posts point out errors of fact or emphasis and will investigate all assertions. But these suggestions should be sent via e-mail. To avoid distracting other readers, we won't publish comments that suggest a correction. Instead, corrections will be made in a blog post or in an article.
