Assange and Al-Akhbar

In an interview, Assange has said that the publication of Wikileaks in Al-Akhbar in Beirut has helped spark the revolutions in the Arab world.  He is overstating but I think it is true that the publication of the Wikileaks on the Bin Ali and the family of his wife in Al-Akhbar played a big role in sparking events in Tunisia.
