It's conspiracy.

That's also conspiracy. You can't take these two acts out of context. They were done with the intent of stealing and disseminating classified information which is illegal.
- leereeves 8y agoYes, intent matters, and there's a reasonable case that what he did was illegal. But because intent matters, if Assange's intent was to reveal information that the public should know, then what he did shouldn't be illegal.
- hjk05 8y agoInforming the public of situations where the government is killing innoscent people is illegal, no big suprice. But that doesn’t mean we have to support extradition to North Korea of every journalist who publishes the truth about that horrible regime. And by the same merit you don’t have to support the American regime going after Assange for exposing their murders of innoscent.
