WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange walks out on CNN interview | Raw Story: "If you want an interview, it's unwise to ask WikiLeaks founder and former hacker Julian Assange about charges of sexual impropriety, as CNN correspondent Atika Shubert found out recently.

When Shubert first inquired about the allegations of internal turmoil at WikiLeaks -- claims leveled by former employee Daniel Domscheit-Berg -- Assange took a dry tone and emphasized that his purpose for appearing in front of the cameras was the publication of classified Iraq war documents.

Then she asked about the molestation charges being investigated by Swedish police. Her written report to CNN, which initially summarized that he refused to talk about it, is something of a polite understatement.

'This interview is about something else,' he said. 'I will have to walk if you are... If you are going to contaminate this extremely serious interview with questions about my personal life.'"
