PARIS — In the event of his untimely death or 
long-term incarceration, WikiLeaks founder Julian 
Assange would make public all the leaked 
documents his group has, the activist reiterated 
Thursday in an interview with the broadcaster al Jazeera.

"If I am forced, we could go to the extreme and 
expose each and every file that we have access 
to," he said, according to media groups reporting on the interview.

In the interview, Assange reportedly said that 
2,000 websites are prepared to flood the Internet 
with information if it is deemed necessary. Right 
now, that information is under strong password protection.

Assange noted that the safeguard showed his group was acting responsibly.

In the interview, the last part of which was 
aired in the Arab world on Wednesday night, 
Assange alleged that many senior Arab leaders 
have close ties to the United States' CIA spy 
agency and that several Arab countries had set up 
torture centers to which Washington could send suspects for questioning.

Separately, in France, the latest release from 
WikiLeaks was causing scandal by alleging that 
French President Nicolas Sarkozy had in the past 
received financial support from former Gabonese president Omar Bongo.

The released documents said that money had been 
paid to several French political parties, with 
some of it used to support Sarkozy.

The Elysee did not comment on the allegations.

WikiLeaks has been publishing the leaked U.S. 
cables for more than a month now, based on a 
trove of tens of thousands of documents the 
whistle-blower site came into possession of earlier this year."

Our truest response to the irrationality of the
