I hope that the USA decides not to prosecute Mr Assange on this matter of "Espionage charges relating to the publication of thousands of classified and diplomatic documents", which dates back to before the Biden administration.
This is not a broader comment either way; on Mr Assange's character or his culpability on any other changes. Be he a hero or a garbage person, it seems better to drop this charge. It is important to separate this and not reduce it to "Assange good" or "Assange bad". That should be irrelevant to the decision of this legal case.
- pestatije 2y agobut he could (id say he almost surely would) reoffend...for the US the most important thing is to keep the guy shut
- lbhdc 2y agoWhy do you feel they should drop the charges? Edit: I get that people feel strongly about this, but I am genuinely curious :)
- SideburnsOfDoom 2y agoThe disclosure was in the public interest. I'm trying to avoid the strong feelings pro and con the person.
