Another hatchet job on Assange from the Guardian stable, which was happy enough to collaborate with Wikileaks initially.

I suspect that rather than showing off, Assange and Wikileaks represent a much larger group of people who are fed up with technological warfare and mass-slaughter, most of which is concealed from the rest of us.
