Yeah, I've read that essay by Assange. He has a really interesting take on things.

There also seems to be a method to his madness in the way he deals with *old* media. He'll shoot something to (for instance) the New York Times and give them a few days to get on the story (and vet the documents for sensitive info) before he releases it to the general public. This gives the NYT a choice of either a) get the scoop and publish the information broadly; or b) sit on it and watch the *new media* get credit.
