Those rules are in place to protect people like Assange from prosecution. We need whistleblowers to protect from abuse. USA tries to be a world police, but in reality it can't even handle internal policing. American way, lock everyone up and no tolerance.
- deathgrips 6y agoAssange isn't a whistleblower, he just tries to stir the pot of shit as best as he can. He has well documented anti-american sentiments and publishes his leaks without redacts to cause maximum loss of life and safety to Americans and American allies.

- DiogenesKynikos 6y agoThe First Amendment is supposed to protect people with "anti-American" sentiments. After all, you don't need a Constitutional amendment to protect people the government likes. The whole point is to protect people the government wants to shut up. > to cause maximum loss of life and safety to Americans and American allies. Assange hoped that he could end the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq by revealing the true nature of those wars. He thought he was saving lives.
