Anonymous withdraws support for WikiLeak
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has lost another high-profile supporter as Anonymous, the hacking collective, said the whistleblowing site had been “ruined by egos”.
Anonymous, a loose group of internet “hacktivists”, has been one of WikiLeaks’ closest allies during the past two years, launching cyber attacks against the site’s opponents and, some claim, becoming a source of its material.
But leading Anonymous accounts on Twitter, which rallied behind WikiLeaks and Mr Assange despite his legal and financial woes, have now withdrawn their support, decrying the freedom-of-information project as a “One Man Julian Assange show”.
Calling the split “the end of an era”, Anonymous tweeted: “It was an awesome idea, ruined by egos.”

Does “a loose group” have a convention to decide to withdraw support, their politburo or ‘head honcho’?

Julian Assange makes me reconcider my opinion on Drone Strikes.

If one’s wiki leaks, one should consult a physician.

Wait! I thought all libtards were altruistic and did everything for The Greater Good™. So now you’re telling me that their socialist ideals are conflicting with the need for the founder to toot his own horn? The hell you say!

Hey you high IQ morons (Anonymous), did anyone told you that all “awesome ideas” on the world are ruined by the egos, sooner or later.
Ask Hitler, Marks, Lenin, etc.

Ruined by egos. Yeah, all of Anonymous and Wikileaks. Ego. It’s what’s for breakfast, isn’t it. Eat shit & die, fuckholes. Reddit & Gawker, you’re lunch.
