I'm not "failing" to do anything. I'm making a comment on Assange's behavior, which seems consistent with the anti-American sentiment with many of the European socialist types. Its also reflected in individuals who are member of some of those "institutions" you bring up. I spent 4 years at a state university, and I heard it on a regular basis from the faculty. It hasn't gotten any better since I've gone, from everything I've seen and read.
