Assange worked with Rusbridger, Guardian's editor in chief at the time, I think. So .... the guardian should go to the guardian and get their help! :-)

It's worth noting that The Guardian's response to Assange's persecution left a lot to be desired[0-2] from a whistle-blowing perspective, especially against a powerful organization. That's not to say one should avoid a journalist publication for telling their story, just that it can backfire in its own way if (presumably) that publication starts to get heat from law man.
