LINK ‘Julian Assange exposed great crimes & now great crime committed against him’ - George Galloway
This is outrageous. Defending the truth has never been needed more.

They had to twist a lot of arms to get their hands on Assange and they did it by breaking so many international laws and conventions that it is little wonder that what used to be called journalism is now little more than propaganda. Anyone caught speaking the truth will be thrown into a dark hole and forgotten from now on. When you lose Free Press you quickly lose Free Speech.

A little melodramatic. Here we are, freely discussing the whole thing without the slightest risk of jail time.
@Gareth sorry to be the one to break this to you but the UK has been licking the Yankee boots for a long time now but this is a new low, even for the Tories.
THHA:
@Gareth . . . You would not be here discussing it had Assange not revealed it, and the reason we are discussing it freely is because that cat is already out of the bag. But if you were posting something similar, I'm sure you would be well on your way to the slammer. We have what is suppose to be a "representative government", that is, we elect people who are suppose to be representing the citizens . . . . Yet the government wants to know everything about the citizens, and they do not want the citizens to know about their government. If you do not see the problem with that, then further conversation is pointless.
That sign, front and center is silly. " ...Assange, Nobel Peace Prize Nominee...", as though that means anything at all. I could be nominated, too, just like anyone else.

I think Mussolini was in that club, too.
There are few differences between what Assange did and what Daniel Ellesberg did (Ellesberg kept some secrets)... news establishments have the right to print the news regardless of its source, just as the NY Times did with the Pentagon Papers.
It is a freedom of press issue, and assuming Assange is tried by a non FISA court, which is not clear since his indictment was done in secret, this may be the main point.

In truth, Assange is only interested in himself. He used Wikileaks in a very self-serving way to help discredit the US government and Hillary Clinton, who were seeking or would have sought his extradition. He didn't care that it would foist Trump on the US. Initially I supported him but not any more.

THHA:
Even IF that were true, the US government should be confronted for the crimes it has been committing, do you really think we need soldiers in practically every other country in the world, that we should have not respect for the sovereignty of other nations, that we should allow the US government to SPY on all US citizens, contrary to the Constitution?
THHA:
That is not a conflation. I simply asked you an unrelated question which you failed to answer.
You are blaming Assange for the election of Trump ? That's stretching credibility a bit far.
NR92:
So you are saying that Assange should have kept hidden the crimes commited by Obama Administration so that Trump couldn't win?
@Noor92 Where did I say that?
