WikiLeaks stated goal is to bring information to light, but its founder, Julian Assange, doesn't always apply the principle to information about himself.
Assange walked out of an interview with CNN's Atika Shubert after she asked about internal problems at Wikileaks and his legal troubles in Sweden. The Scandinavian country issued a warrant for Assange on a rape charge in August but soon withdrew it. The investigation has now been reopened.
When Atika asked about the accusations, Assange stressed that the interview should focus on the 104,000 Iraqi civilians WikiLeaks says were killed over the course of the war there. Assange threatened to walk out if Atika continued to question him about his personal life and when she persisted he took off his microphone and walked of the set.
