I don’t see what Assange really showed me that I didn’t know from reading most anything else before his leaks. Your post is highly politically motivated, I’m not emotional about this, just thinking rationally. I agree that the US has overextended its military and is involved in a lot of conflicts and operations that seem very irrelevant and poorly reasoned. I want a revamp of the military industrial complex and a change to entrenched, unaccountable bureaucracy. I don’t think any of those things have anything to do with Assange however, and I don’t see any connection between them

Whatever and wherever you were reading about US war crimes with evidence, from Collateral Murder to how many other cases, chances are that the info was put through Wikileaks first; directly thanks to Assange. Your comment is so full of self contradiction I don't know where to start - you want a revamp to the MIC and a change to unaccountable bureaucracy, but don't think Assange has anything to do with that? ... Seriously? You fail to see the connection between accountability for war crimes, and the guy who provided documented evidence for war crimes at great personal sacrifice? *edited to remove flame, however deserved.

>> I agree that the US has overextended its military and is involved in a lot of conflicts and operations that seem very irrelevant and poorly reasoned translation : killed a lot of innocent people. Men, Women and Children. I am emotional about this, and rightly so.
