Let's not forget this is a trial to shot the messenger of a war crime for which no one has been held accountable for.
Hillary Clinton and many others actually made the remark that what Assange is doing is putting American lives at risk. So in essence saying American lives are worth more than other humans.
- chrisweekly 6y agoYour comment is a tangent, but I feel compelled to point out that a US Secretary of State has an obligation to prioritize American lives over those of other countries' citizens.
- pessimizer 6y agoThere is absolutely no obligation of a US Secretary of State that they consider the lives of Americans who murder other countries' citizens more important than the lives of those other countries' citizens. I'm not sure where you read or heard this.
- chrisweekly 6y agoThat's quite a leap, and a strawman "argument". I said nothing of the kind.
- whatshisface 6y agoThere may be a competing duty to deal with war crimes somewhere in there as well... "Your side can do absolutely anything and it's still in the right" is a very common idea in national capitals around the world, but some would disagree with it.
- MisterBastahrd 6y agoHave you ever been to America? There is no politician on either side of the political aisle who would ever openly disagree with that statement.
