Lots of words. What crime do you think Assange has committed, specifically?
> Assange is an activist, not a journalist.
Assange has broken two of the biggest stories of our era and literally hundreds of stories each of which would be a reputation-maker for a lesser individual.
Just because you don't like the truths that Assange reveals, doesn't mean he isn't a journalist.
> any probative value of the information Manning leaked was overshadowed by the indiscriminate way in which it was done.
Wikileaks tried to get cooperation from the US government to redact the sensitive parts. They refused to cooperate.
Your way would have meant nothing at all.
Can you explain what harm you believe these leaks caused, compared to their value in knowing that the US engages in war crimes and covers them up?
