When lawyers for the US yet again quote from a book by the Guardian's David Leigh in a desperate bid to bolster their flimsy case against Julian Assange, investigative journalist Nicky Hager replies: 'I would not regard that [book] as a reliable source',

Hager is the latest journalist to strenuously deny criticisms of Assange made by Leigh and Luke Harding in their book. Assange was committed to redacting names before publication, says Hager. He attributes the criticism inste...ad to Guardian 'animosity' towards Assange.

Ex-ambassador Craig Murray points out that the ‘bad blood’ between the Guardian and Assange related not to redaction issues, as Leigh claims in his book, but the fact that Assange refused to give the Guardian rights to a biography, which they hoped would be a big money-spinner.

Murray also makes the telling point that, even though the US relies constantly on Leigh and Harding's highly contentious claims in the book to aid their case, neither Guardian journalist has chosen to appear in court to be cross-examined or spoken to set the record straight.
