That is a non sequitur. Per the article: "The prosecution case alleges Assange risked American lives by releasing hundreds of thousands of US intelligence documents."
The video is but one of those secret military materials. No need to include it in the indictment and risk debates or scrutiny on it, it's much more efficient to select bulletproof documents that show beyond doubt that he acted improperly.. of which there are already thousands.
- fit2rule 6y ago>there are already thousands Are there? Got a reference to some of these bulletproof documents? EDIT: crickets ..
- jessaustin 6y agoYeah, we'll hear similar cricket chirping if we ask for an example of all those soldiers and collaborators whose lives and safety were risked by wikileaks. Someone silly might post some decades-old warning from Rumsfeld or whoever about all the thousands of people who will die because some warlord got someone's name off a list published by wikileaks, but that old warning coupled with the war media's interest in arguing their side just underlines the fact that no one has died in such a circumstance.
- fit2rule 6y agoThe fact is, as of today, there is NO EVIDENCE that any American life was put in danger by the leaks. There IS evidence that a LOT of American lives were put in danger by the war crimes and other crimes against humanity committed in their name. Basically, every single American alive today is in danger as a result of the war crimes for which they are responsible as citizens of the USA. Invading Iraq put every single American in much more dire danger than Wikileaks ever could.
