I dont have any issue with publishing the video. I have issue with them spinning it. And they did not just spin it, they edited it for effect.
Pointing at other corrupt organizations and saying they also have done wrong that went unpunished (although as far as I know the UK hacking did not go unpublished), does not justify doing wrong. The irony of course is that Assange is hiding in London precisely to avoid appearing in court.
But I also acknowledge we all have a different set of morals. For some the ends justifies the means. I personally believe the ends never justify the means.
The ends justifies the means is usually what war criminals claim to be their justification.
- pjc50 12y agoI wasn't pointing out the UK hacking as an unpunished wrong, I was saying that there are certain wrongs which (in practice) can only be exposed by (potentially illegal) leaks. A better example from the UK might be the widespread allegations of uninvestigated child abuse by members of the establishment that I'm not going to name for fear of libel litigation.
