    You sound as if you're in two minds as whether you object to the exposure of criminal activity detrimental to your fellow Americans. NOTHING in what Assange exposed- as a journalist- can be construed to be beneficial to the American public.

    Bradley/Chelsea Manning a soldier with the proper clearance leaked nearly 750,000 classified, or unclassified but sensitive, military and diplomatic documents to Wikileaks. So how does the US military and government take better care of it's classified?

    I fear Assange hasn't got long to live.

    I want President Trump to pardon him.

    He's a publisher.

    The failing New York Time's publisher wasn't charged with espionage for publishing the Pentagon Papers.

    You enjoyed Manning being abused in jail? The military does not let people go unpunished. Time served.

    Sounds like you are saying the military condones physical abuse in prison.

    He got less than he deserved for betraying his country. The little puke should have served at least 25 years. But a bunch bleeding hearts convinced Obama to set him free.

    He didn't ' betray his country '. He did his country a great service. Liars, spooks and self-serving war-mongers were taking it over.

    Too hot to touch? MSM outlets stand united in rejecting op-ed on Assange by UN expert on torture



    The UN rapporteur on torture has written a scalding op-ed in support of Julian Assange, in which he says the publisher was the victim of a smear campaign. Now he claims many leading MSM outlets are snubbing the piece.
    The op-ed by Nils Melzer was published Wednesday on the occasion of International Day in Support of Torture Victims. Melzer describes his personal path to the realization that Julian Assange, co-founder of WikiLeaks, is not a rapist, not a hacker, not a Russian spy, and not even “a selfish narcissist, skateboarding through the Ecuadorian Embassy and smearing feces on the walls.” Western media and officials have claimed that Assange is all of those things.

    In the end it finally dawned on me that I had been blinded by propaganda, and that Assange had been systematically slandered to divert attention from the crimes he exposed.

    Melzer says the purposefulness and scale of the campaign against Assange elevated it from mere slander or even state persecution to full-fledged psychological torture in his eyes.

    preach it
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
