Did Mr. Assange steal any secrets?
No.
Is he an American citizen?
No.
Is the US government persecuting him in violation of our cherished principles of freedom?
Looks like it to me.
A sad day for the US if the Espionage Act is used against WikiLeaks???

even IF security is compromised, we the people deserve to know everything our government is doing.

No you don't.....not by any stretch....
Even a citizen can be an enemy of the country, MY country....and I deserve the right to be protected and enjoy security from said 'enemy citizen'....NO RIGHTS are without some bounds.....freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, freedom of religion, etc.
All have limitations....
"...pay excruciatingly close attention to what the US government is doing to Bradley Manning, the 22-year-old army private accused of leaking hundreds of thousands of cables to WikiLeaks. Manning has been held in solitary confinement at the US Marine Corps brig in Quantico, Virginia, for five months now. He has not been convicted of any crime. In a devastating Salon article, Glenn Greenwald has stressed that Manning is "under conditions that constitute cruel and inhumane treatment and, by the standards of many nations, even torture".
So that was Assange's terse way of saying to the world: Big Brother is watching you. And what they're doing to Manning they want to do to me, to you, and metaphorically to anyone who believes in freedom of information."

?....How is the US government persecuting Assange in violation of OUR principles....????
Just exactly what have we done to him so far?
If you don't know, is it possible that the government doesn't want you to?
That's acceptable to you, if I understand your position.
Are you contending that Mr. Assange's arrest and detention and the sudden cutoff of all avenues of Wikileaks funding are the result of unproven allegations by two Swedish women?

The report said she was awakened by him having sex with her and that she was 'half asleep' or to put it another way, 'half awake'!
One said his body weight had impeded her 'reaching over' to get a ('a' not 'the') condom. Reaching over? Like this 'rape victim' happened to have a supply of condoms close by.
Neither woman made any complaints until they discovered the 'presence' of the other. One was advised that if she went to the police she might be able to make some money.
Nothing would have been done were it not for the US authorities who had been tracking him with the intent of preventing Wikileaks from operating since 2008!!!!
Tell you what, my fellow travellers, the US authorities are going to come out of this with a lot more than just egg on their faces. They are going to have a whole chicken farm to clear up! They know they are getting bad press. How stupid do they have to be to continue?
anything is possible....I thought I didn't know because I really don't give a rats ass about what is done to Mr. Assange....and haven't made an effort to learn any details of his legal problems in the UK.....
You have accused the US government of persecuting Assange
I asked you how ....So I'm waiting.
As far as I know, the allegations of those women is the reason he was arrested and I don't know what was cutoff or by whom........
enlighten us...
Knock yourself out.

Nah...not interested....all I know is,
The Russian President, Medvedev, is talking of supporting Assange....
Brazilian President, da Silva, expressed his support....
Ecuador appeared to be offering Assange residency , this is, asylum...
Michael Moore sent him "bail money" I believe....
A Kermlin source wants to give him a Nobel Prize....
Most lefties on the web seem to support him....
And of course, you.
I thought I'd give you an opportunity to come to his aid in a meaningful way.
I provided a tool which you could have used to educate yourself on the debate. Here are a couple extra, in case you decide to learn the facts...

I thought you didn't care. That's what you said.
If that's the case, why can't you seem to stop replying to my posts on the subject?
He doesn't "give a rat's ass", but can't seem to stop posting in threads that he says don't interest him.
