Julian Assange’s whistleblowing put him “In the crosshairs of the US administration”. “He’s being pursued because he’s exposed wrong doing by US forces” — @HackneyAbbott

I, for one, am totally shocked by this latest bombshell.












I never would have guessed that Pam Anderson wasn't a huge Trump supporter.

I find it a bit curious how the one who stole govt. documents is hailed as a hero and a whistle blower by some but the person who published those stolen documents is a villian?

Personally, I think that both of them should share a cell under the prison.

Yep.  I think that's the first time I've agree with you on anything.  Had to take you off ignore to read this.

I think whistle-blowers are vital and prosecuting WikiLinks might be a step too close to violation of freedom of the press.

Whistle-blowers who give up government secrets are spies or traitors, no?

Too bad for the Rosenbergs there wasn't a cutout like Wikileaks back in the day.

No.

Not if it exposes wrongdoing in the public interest.
