Wikileaks tweeted:

"Mr. Assange is still alive and WikiLeaks is still publishing. We ask supporters to stop taking down the US internet. You proved your point. "

If their claim is true, does anyone think, it will turn many sympathizers against them? I don't think attacking normal bushiness is a good thing to do.

I think this tweet says more about Assange's vanity than anything else.

The motives of the attackers are much less interesting than the fact that such attacks are now possible.

"Assange's vanity than anything else" -> Don't get too ahead of yourself. Has there been any instance where Wikileaks had made a false claim?
