U.S. military publish secret version of Assange book

Wikileaks News: A full, unedited, unsubbed, version of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange’s autobiography has been leaked by the U.S military.

“The documents we publicly released today show shocking and possibly illegal attempts at an autobiography,” said one anonymous U.S military source.

“The pages are packed with spelling mistakes, a mixture of past, present and future tenses and confused pronouns. He even goes from referring from himself in the first to the third person in the same sentence. I’ve read paragraphs in this manuscript so badly written they would turn your hair white.”

The leaked document has drawn condemnation from authors around the world.

“Leaks like this show a real lack of discretion on the part of the military and threaten to harm literature and stuff,” Dan Brown told NBC’s Today programme this morning.

“If the public get to read raw, unedited copies of our books then – and let’s be quite clear here – authors around the world will be compromised.”

“If you thought the published version of my 1998 book Digital Fortress was bad, you should read the first draft. You’d have thrown up on it.”
