In light of whistle-blowing website Wikileaks publishing more than 90,000 secret military files on the war in Afghanistan, Australian founder Julian Assange decided to give a press conference in London Monday.

Highlights from the logs, published by the New York Times, the Guardian and Der Spiegel, have now thrust Wikileaks and its somewhat reclusive main man into the global spotlight.

He's speaking at the Press Club in central London, and has called for greater transparency and said there was no reason to doubt the reliability of the documents. He went on to say that the cover-up of crimes begins at the bottom and that it is the messenger who gets criticized. Assange also alleged that he believes the Australian government was asked by the U.S. to engage in surveillance of him and other Wikileaks staff.
