Wikileaks’ latest release is billed as a transcript of a “secret meeting,” but it may more accurately be termed a promotion.

The site on Friday released a five-hour transcript of a June 2011 meeting between Julian Assange, one of the whistle-blowing site’s founders, and Eric E. Schmidt, Google’s executive chairman.

The meeting was also attended by Jared Cohen, who was an advisor to former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Cohen has been working with Schmidt on a book called “The New Digital World” due to be released next Tuesday.

At the time of the chat, Assange was staying in Norfolk, England, with Vaughan Smith, the founder of the journalism organization the Frontline Club while his extradition case continued. Assange remains in the U.K. today, holed up in Ecuador’s London embassy although Britain has approved his extradition to Sweden related to sexual assault allegations.
