Irascible and unpredictable, outgoing President Lula da Silva is defending jailed controversial WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
Lula claims Assange did less harm than the authors of the classified documents and offered his “solidarity” with the jailed Australian national.
“I’m surprised they arrested the man and I didn’t see any protest,” said Lula. “The guy was just posting what he read.”Lula also said that WikiLeaks “exposed a diplomacy that seemed to be untouchable.”
