Julian Assange ensures that Wikileaks is "difficult to behead"

The founder of Wikileaks, Australian Julian Assange, assured that its site was still "difficult to behead" through eight hundred volunteers and millions of people who support him, in an interview with the Colombian weekly Semana published Monday. "The last time I was incarcerated, we continued to publish daily.

We are difficult to decapitate," he said in that interview in London. "Some media have built this myth that I am a super hero and everything depends on me in terms of work. At first it was true, but we have grown in recent years," he said, adding: "Some 800 volunteers and an extraordinary network composed of millions of people support us.

" "They want our survival and continuation of the publications," said Julian Assange, saying also "threatened with death by sectors of the American right and the people associated with the neo-conservatives". He further assured that journalism fell for him a "public service". The weekly Semana is the second Colombian media to receive diplomatic telegrams in possession of Wikileaks, after the newspaper El Espectador.

Semana received 9,000 documents from the U.S. embassy in Bogota and Venezuela between 1985 and 2010. Other newspapers and information centers in Latin America in Uruguay, Costa Rica, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico or Chile have also begun to receive his "deliveries" confidential.
