As WikiLeaks has become a household name over the past year, one of the organizations that has most aided the website's rise to prominence is the New York Times. Through many of the leaks that have changed the landscape and called into question the tenants of journalism, the Times often provided Julian Assange and WikiLeaks with an audience by studying, and publishing the documents it was releasing. As questions about Julian Assange's character grow, so do those about his impact on the world and whether it is positive or negative. Bill Keller, executive editor of the New York Times, talks about dealing with Assange behind the scenes.

Keller wrote his account in this weekend's New York Times Magazine.

Wikileaks Criminal Organization from Ethics

Wikileaks? It is money driven private unregistered and taxable business of Julian Assange. It was later incorporated as SUNSHINE PRESS PRODUCTIONS EHF in Iceland, and is subject to corporate tax rate of 18%.

That is very much contrary to the lies that Wikileaks aka Julian Assange spread around the world. He claims to be non-profit organization. That is evidently not true.

Receiving donations and falsely representing a private company for non-profit organization is crime.
