Stephen Colbert had WikiLeaks Editor Julian Assange on his show last night, and things got a little bit heated when Colbert accused Assange of “emotionally manipulating” his audience by editing footage of U.S. helicopters shooting Iraqis.

Colbert backed off a little when Assange explained the video’s context, but added: “It’s like you’re saying it’s better to know than not to know.”
