(62,325 posts)Have you any idea of the material Wikileaks has been provided with? CIA memos, especially ones referring to Assange and Wikileaks, eg. I guess even in the CIA there are Patriots who admire the work of a truly free press.
Assange IS Wikileaks. It was he who was the driving force behind what you claim to admire. It would be hard to admire his creation while at the same time, claiming he is the problem.
That's kind of like saying that if it wasn't for Beethoven, the Fifth Symphony would have no problems. It doesn't, neither does Wikileaks, the problem is the US Government's over-reaction to having their war crimes exposed.
What they should have done was to thank those who exposed them, started an investigation and prosecuted the war criminals. That's what any Democratic government would have done. Instead, they went after the News Organization's Editor and Publisher. And in the process appear to be guilty of even more crimes they are trying to hide. And they appear to be approving those crimes. He is not the problem, he is the genius who invented what has become a problem to governments everywhere who have anything to hide.
I am aware of the encryption story. You must have missed what happened with all of that. A betrayal, theft and someone who denies having been compromised, but who most people believe was.
