Hacking up a journalist who says some things a king doesn't like and charging someone with supposedly assisting in hacking classified networks and computer systems in a court of law to maybe eventually serve some prison time are two radically different things.
Hell, the person who actually did the hacking and extracting the classified documents only served 7 years of prison time. Are you seriously comparing butchering someone to serving 7 years of prison time after an investigation and public trial?
I don't understand how you seem to have a really tough time with that.

The grounding of Evo Morales' plane suggests we'll violate national sovereignty if you really embarrass the intel community. Would the intel community like to wire up Assanges reproductive organs to a high voltage source? Idk, they've done it to others for much less. But that's the price of freedom right
- vel0city 3y agoAsking a few friendly countries to deny airspace to a flight is still pretty radically different from hacking up a reporter because they said something the Prince didn't like. Try again.
