There's a difference between truth and security of truth. One reveals to all, while the other protects by doing the opposite.

- nhangen 16y agoWho is to be the one to judge what is dangerous? Assange? As I said in another comment, I don't believe that Assange knows the power of this information, whether we're talking secrets or classified information.
- zbanks 16y ago@nhangen: The government. They offered to collaborate in order to make sure nothing bad would be released. The government ignored them, however. What does that say?
- nhangen 16y agoWell their stance is that his actions are unlawful and that he's dealing with stolen information. It's more complicated than you're presenting.
