Julian Assange's Mom: He's Just 'Fighting Baddies'

The man quickly becoming Public Enemy No. 1 in world capitals still has a warm and fuzzy place in his mom's heart. Quotes from an interview with Christine Assange about son Julian and his WikiLeaks exploits in Australia's Herald Sun:

• "He sees what he's doing as doing a good thing in the world, fighting baddies, if you like."
• "Of course, I'm his mother, he's my little boy."

• He's a "seeker of truth."
• "Whether you agree with what Julian does or not, living by what you believe in and standing up for something is a good thing."
• "I'm concerned it's gotten too big and the forces that he's challenging are too big."
• "What people don't realise is that Julian is very funny."
