I'd feel sad too if they were trying to arrest me because of surprise sex :(
[QUOTE=tomatmann;26502143]Haha.
Now Assange will never get in Jail.[/QUOTE]
There's a thing called writing another warrant.
you idiots arguing over crime and legalities, i don't give a fuck if he is illegal; i support his actions
yeah that's right, you can support someone even if they are illegal (wow!)
you don't have to think and act like your glorious governments
Since people seem to have forgotten, they don't have [solid] proof that it was Manning.
[QUOTE=Sift;26498851]I kinda wish he'd just hang himself or something already, forget the deadman switch or whatever, I bet money almost all of the people that support him are under the age of 16 and think that they deserve to know what's in the files he has stored and think nothing bad would come of it.[/QUOTE]
What's the point of voting someone into government if they can do what they like afterwards? How do you voice your opposition to a decision you only find out about when it gets declassified?
[QUOTE=Sift;26498851]Honestly sit down with a clear head and think about this, what he has apparently could have the potential to start a goddamn war, costing thousands of innocent people their lives and families. One man who does not look through what he releases could end lives just because he thinks he's above the law. You really wanna defend that? The guys a shitstain on the world and some things, are simply better left unknown.[/QUOTE]
I agree that some things shouldn't be released, informants, troop movements, that kind of thing. War crimes, corruption and cover ups however, should.
He does censor the documents, not personally but there's a large amount of people at wikileaks who trawl through the documents taking out information that's just plain dangerous, that's why they release them in batches. Hell he even asked the Pentagon for help censoring the War Diaries, who then denied that he even asked.
Oh and legality =/= morality, the WBC picketing funerals is legal for example.
[QUOTE=Explosions;26494566]I wish everyone would just ignore him completely. He's getting exactly what he wants: media coverage. I mean, a single man has got the Australian Prime Minister giving a speech about him.[/QUOTE]
He very well deserves it.

And some people oppose him because, shock and awe, what he does is illegal!
I know, hard to comprehend, right?
[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;26501969]So you're leaking incredibly sensitive information all over the world, willingly causing a shitstorm and upsetting governments and now we're supposed to feel sorry for you not being able to return to your homeland?
Fuck off.[/QUOTE]
I don't get why everybody's going all viva-la-revolution over this guy, it doesn't affect them in any way (at current) and the most he can do is fuck over governments by revealing sensitive information, fucking himself over in the process.
This whole "julian is awesome freedom fighter etc" lark is just a massive fucking bandwagon.

I'm on the government's side.

Fuck you, Julian.
Wait so he is likely to be arrested in the next couple of days? Oh man.
Also I completely support this guy, he's doing what he believes is best.
[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;26502071]sorry US law isn't international law, thus your whistleblowing acts etc are meaningless.[/QUOTE]
The US has probably more international diplomatic influence than any other country. Hence why other countries are cooperating with it.
[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;26502071]oh NO he's UPSETTING GOVERNMENTS
holy shit seriously guys be anti-government or pro-government already take a side, one minute you're complaining about how the US gov is taking your guns and the next you're supporting them in reducing transparency.[/QUOTE]
I really doubt the pro-gun conservative wingnuts on FP are the same people as the liberal wingnuts who are supporting Julian Assange.
I know bit about how the world works and understand why leaking every classified document you can find isn't a good idea.

sorry but I don't follow that logic at all, what if a murderer kills someone because he believes it's for the best?
