Which brings me back to my prior question, what exactly did they leak that equates to watergate ? If he busted someone doing something outrageous this wouldnt be a problem. How is divulging critical US institutions and infrastructure whistle blowing any crimes by the government?

The defenders of Assange are very selective on what private information or secrets are ok to expose.

Whats embarassing about the names of our confidential informants in Afganistan?


Not sure, but he didn't release them. Certain things were withheld because he felt it might be damaging to ongoing operations or the lives of innocent people. What you're hearing is the propaganda of groups intent on villifying Assange.

Quote:
He's releasing things that are embarrassing as well as things that are genuinely detrimental to the proper business of the federal government.

Since he's doing both I'm inclined to believe he cares nothing about " your cause" or "freedom" and cared only about the fame and trappings and folk hero worship he gets from it.


Anything detrimental to the proper business of the federal government these days is going to be beneficial to freedom, since the US governments "proper business" these days is nothing but infringing upon that freedom.

Fighting wars is the federal government's proper business. If he didn't/doesn't release any names of military CIs then that's a different story and i've been mislead on this one.

A distinction without much difference. The Sec of State in your accusation didnt steal anything either.

Assange didnt personally steal it, he just publicized stolen documents and provides the format for others to do more of the same. Does that make it better?



One is illegal the other is not. One is immoral the other is not only not immoral but moral.

It would be cool if the phpbb code automatically fixed these parse errors.
