There's very little mention of this in the news. This is the most important fight for Press Freedom in our time. If we allow this precedent to be set, then nobody will be able to report on the security state at all. We cannot allow the so-called "espionage laws" erode democracy.
Assange had hacked info for Trump and Hillary and posted Hillary's. What a hero. What a savior of democracy.

The thing has been so deeply politicized that assuming things will end up as they should, Assange should fear for his life as a free man anyway; I'm sure he couldn't even think of visiting the US then fly away alive. After all that propaganda depicting him as enemy of the US, chances are that some thugs, whether because batshit crazy, or following orders, could attempt to kill him anyway. Possibly also at home in Australia. The same applies to Edward Snowden: should he get the pardon one day, he'd still be a target for someone.
No matter how it ends, these guys have been already punished enough, and by forcing them to live in fear, some of that punishment will last forever.
Assange and Snowden - same situations. I guess Snowden just murdered the girl he raped to keep her quiet.
The people giving us the best ads on the internet have important opinions. |
