I disagree. Chelsea Manning bears the overwhelming fault from a US Legal perspective. He was a member of the armed forces under oath and knowingly shared classified information.
Assange has no oath to the US and despite his interest in the material it is quite a stretch to somehow suggest he “made” Chelsea share this info.
- giantrobot 5y agoI never said he made Manning do anything. He directed and assisted Manning. A journalist doesn't help a source get more material. They don't because they know it's illegal.
- fit2rule 5y agoThis is false. Journalists help their sources, all the time. Its a key part of journalism to develop sources that produce the truth of the story. The idea that journalists are only allowed to publish what's handed to them serves the intelligence communities' purpose of being the only sources of righteous propaganda.
