Assange is 100% correct. It's too bad the MSM is focusing on whether or not his actions were "the right thing to do" rather than informing the public about the actual atrocities covered in the leaks...

I've been a staunch supporter ever since they first popped up.

But they're starting to smell...

Osama orchestrating attacks? Outright denial of a 9/11 conspiracy?

Sure, I mean, Osama could be alive and 9/11 could have been carried out by Al Qaeda... but to make these claims without evidence and to make these statements in such a matter-of-fact tone within in the confines of documents which deal mainly with actual military action is a bit strange.

Yet to be swayed either way, Assange, if you read this, leak something worthy of being called a leak.

No its actually feces he has on his hands.

But, its a crappy job, someone has to do it.

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when I read that the Secretary of Defense had accused Julian Assange of having "blood on his hands" as a result of the recent document leaks. The SECDEF's hypocracy indeed knows no bounds.

The old saw about pots and kettles comes to mind (or perhaps it was the one about glass houses and stones).

Seems like Wikileaks has become a thorn under somebodys' saddle blanket!

Thanks for the thread - S&F

It great to be young and idealistic. In reality you have no clue, but your young and idealistic.... All of us was at one time and some of us have lived to old age with some wisdom.

Assuange will have the blood of hundreds on his hands when all is said and done. The Taliban will have all the named sources killed along with their families in the next few years. Assange was too stupid to realize this as he has tunnel vision in trying to bring done the man.

He's no hero, no one to look up to; nothing more than an opportunist trying to make a buck. At some point, wikileaks will go away and then expect him to write a book about his "been there, done that" life.

Yeah, it's great to be young and idealistic, enjoy it while you can. The best advice I can offer is something told to me long ago. "A young fool has the ability to grow into an old fool unless he does something stupid".
