World | WikiLeaks Julian Assange's Mom: He's Just 'Fighting Baddies' And he's still her 'little boy' By John Johnson Posted Dec 1, 2010 4:02 PM CST Copied In this Oct. 23, 2010. file photo, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange speaks during a news conference in London. (AP Photo/Lennart Preiss, File) The man quickly becoming Public Enemy No. 1 in world capitals still has a warm and fuzzy place in his mom's heart. Quotes from an interview with Christine Assange about son Julian and his WikiLeaks exploits in Australia's Herald Sun: "He sees what he's doing as doing a good thing in the world, fighting baddies, if you like." "Of course, I'm his mother, he's my little boy." He's a "seeker of truth." "Whether you agree with what Julian does or not, living by what you believe in and standing up for something is a good thing." "I'm concerned it's gotten too big and the forces that he's challenging are too big." "What people don't realise is that Julian is very funny."
