I thought he was like one of the most important whistleblowers of our time exposing war crimes and shit. Some of you don’t wanna see him live another day, why is that?

    People claim “people were put at risk” but two things stand out.

    1. Since then has anyone died because of the leaks?
    2. What about the actual crime? Has anyone been procecuted ?

    I think the answer to both is negative so its just that letter of law applies to the mighty. This time once again has proved it

      It’s unlikely that no one died over the leaks. That alone doesn’t make leaking right or wrong though.

        If anyone should be facing a firing squad for putting people at risk, it would be Scooter Libby and Dick Cheney long before Assange. There are verifiable deaths from those leaks, yet nothing even close to justice has been visited on either of those traitors.
