Meanwhile, WikiLeaks has suspended publication because it says a 'banking blockade' has cut off its sources of funding."

If he'd pulled this trick during the cold war, he would have had a mysterious "car accident" in the country late at night with lots of empty bottles and a young male prostitute in the car with him. That .45 caliber wound to his head would have obviously been from the steering wheel, of course.
