1. He cares about people. To this country, that is a crime.
Sadly, even to people who call themselves democrats.

He will be, and actually has been already, recognized among the great humanitarians of these times. There are so few willing to risk their lives, their careers etc. as he has for the past four years, even to the point of never having a home, or seeing his family, in order to defend the oppressed by exposing the oppressors and their crimes.

America is such a sad place, like all Empires throughout history even its own citizens have become numb to the horrors their government is inflicting on people in other countries in their names. We don't even try to stop them, now that the 'other party' is in control.

I am glad there are people like Assange who have not lost their humanity.

One of the British journalists who followed up on the children wounded in the Iraq Video, also showed that some people maintain their humanity even in the middle of so much horror. He cried when he watched that video. But here, people actually claim that Wikileaks has not exposed any crimes. I cannot imagine that any human being could watch that video and not be totally horrified, as that journalist was, by what they are looking at. And in a way that is the saddest thing of all, America has become to the violence, and even accepting of the removal of their own rights.
