Rue89 est désormais partenaire de WikiLeaks, c’est-à-dire que nous avons accès aux câbles diplomatiques en la possession de l’ONG. Mais avant d’être « approuvé », il faut rencontrer Julian Assange et signer un contrat fixant les règles d’utilisation avec son organisation. Et pour rencontrer Julian Assange, il faut aller le voir dans cette résidence d’Ellingham Hall dans laquelle il est assigné depuis sa libération sous caution pour répondre d’une demande d’extradition suédoise dans l’affaire des poursuites pour « sexe par surprise », une disposition très suédoise. Conversation à bâtons rompus Il ne s’agit pas d’une interview, ni dans un sens, ni dans l’autre.
