Assange is not that scared for his life. He appeared at the Centre for Investigative Journalism just last Friday[1].
I think George Brock said it best in his post entitled "Julian Assange and the Wikileaks agenda" where he wrote, "Assange’s style is an odd mixture of insight, nonsense and brass-neck salesmanship"[2] The fact that Wikileaks has an agenda and are out to sell information to the highest bidder does not speak well, IMO[3].
The Wau Holland Foundation has told reporters that Wikileaks receives no money for personnel costs, only for hardware, travelling and bandwidth, however they have not produced any detailed reciepts for this[4]. As any chartiy should do- some are even required by law to do so.
On their twitter feed they call cryptome out for full primary sources, this is very hypocritical on their part[5]. Many of their problems did not start until Assange took the "helm", and many will not cease until he leaves.
