WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange
sets his sights on Google in a new book, claiming the Internet giant is in bed
with the U.S. government.
In the book "The New Digital
Age," Assange discussed about his meeting with Schmidt and Cohen three
years ago. The book published last year.
"I asked Eric Schmidt to
leak U.S. government information requests to WikiLeaks, and he refused,
suddenly nervous, citing the illegality of disclosing Patriot Act
requests," Assange writes.
Assange writes that the Google
Ideas chief "could be wryly named Google’s 'director of regime
change.'" And for review of "The New Digital Age," claiming it
"failed to deliver."
The 43-year-old Assange has been
living in the Ecuadorian embassy in London for two years in the wake of rape
allegations in Sweden. He filed an appeal against the arrest warrant, and a
long-awaited decision is expected sometime Monday.
