WikiLeaks Auctioning Lunch with Julian Assange

No word on whether he'll clandestinely leak your drink order and table manners to newspapers around the world.

Provided you can get to London, are flush with cash, and don't mind spending an hour or two with a Slovenian Marxist philosopher, you can bid to have lunch with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. Eight people will get the chance to eat with Assange and Slavoj Zizek (the aforementioned Slovene) at a London restaurant on July 2, the day the pair are due to give a talk in the British capital. Bidding is set to close on Monday, and the highest bids so far have already topped £500, or nearly $800. Assange has raised the ire of governments around the world for his role in releasing thousands of secret documents and memos on everything from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars to slices of life from U.S. diplomats stuck in Ottawa.
