Because he has finally given up hope that the Australian government will defend himself and WikiLeaks from a relentless US-led campaign of intimidation, including a financial blockade of WikiLeaks, a grand jury investigating WikiLeaks and Assange, US State Department claims that Assange is not a journalist and therefore not entitled to First Amendment protections and description of Assange as a terrorist by the US Vice-President.
