<p>Governments around the world must not &#8220;shoot the messenger&#8221; by attacking disclosures by WikiLeaks, Julian Assange has said.</p>
<p>The former computer hacker said his whistle-blowing website deserves protection and has not cost a single life despite the claims of critics.</p>
<p>Writing for The Australian newspaper, Mr Assange quoted its founder, Rupert Murdoch, as once saying the truth will inevitably win over secrecy.</p>
<p>He said: &#8220;Nearly a century later, WikiLeaks is also fearlessly publishing facts that need to be made public.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mr Assange said WikiLeaks has coined &#8220;scientific journalism&#8221; that allows readers to study the original evidence for themselves.</p>
<p>He added: &#8220;Democratic societies need a strong media and WikiLeaks is part of that media. The media helps keep government honest.</p>
<p>&#8220;WikiLeaks has revealed some hard truths about the Iraq and Afghan wars, and broken stories about corporate corruption.&#8221;</p>
<p>The campaigner denied he is anti-war, but said Governments must tell the truth about their reasons for fighting. He claimed the United States, supported by its &#8220;acolytes&#8221;, has attacked WikiLeaks instead of other media groups because it is &#8220;young and small&#8221;.</p>
<p>Branding the website &#8220;underdogs&#8221;, he accused Australia Prime Minister Julia Gillard of &#8220;disgraceful pandering&#8221; to the Americans.</p>
<p>He said: &#8220;The Gillard government is trying to shoot the messenger because it doesn&#8217;t want the truth revealed, including information about its own diplomatic and political dealings.&#8221;</p>
