Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange Has Passport Confiscated 197

Posted by CmdrTaco from the no-more-colbert-for-you dept.
Taco Cowboy writes "The Australian founder of the whistleblower website Wikileaks had his passport confiscated by police when he arrived in Melbourne last week. While Assange has made himself particularly unpopular with the US military by publishing video of attacks on civilians in Iraq, he's been something of a thorn in the side for the Australian government too. Last year, Wikileaks published a list of websites which were to be banned under the government's proposed Internet filter. While the aim of the filter is to block extreme pornography and the like, the blacklist included a number of more prosaic sites such as those of a travel company and a dentist.

Maybe everytime you died she pondered if it was worth rescuing you, or she was better being alone, maybe some other adventurer would come along and not throw her like a projectile to his enemies. Then every action of the other adeventurer she would be comparing to you, letting the new player know that he's not on the same level.
