Blondes publish more leaks.

Photos above and at left: WikiLeaks spokesman Kristinn Hrafnsson listens to questions during an event at the Frontline club in London this week. The recent publication of U.S. diplomatic cables by WikiLeaks is perfectly legal, said Hrafnsson on Wednesday.

He is a former journalist from Iceland. The more well-known face of Wikileaks, Julian Assange, faces the risk of assasination according to Hrafnsson.
