From Craig Murray's articles from the past days, it comes up that cryptome is one of the parties that released early the documents Assange is charged for, and which Wikileaks was trying to sanitize at the time. The evidence for this includes testimony from numerous journalists involved in the sanitizing effort at the time and one of the people in charge of cryptome.

You ad-hominem's do nothing to clarify the matter. Whatever your opinion of Assange may be, at the moment he's just a dude trapped in a Kafkian legal battle for not spending his remaining life in a US maximum security prison for exposing war crimes. If that doesn't deserve a little empathy, I don't know what is.
