Re: Assange
Assange is free now, but he was not free for 5 years and we paid for is incarceration I hope the deal made with the US includes them paying for his HM board and lodgings and Legal fees . I think he will become dependent on the Australians Government as his Long time struggle probably has left him unable to work or cope with normal Life, if he ever was.
All because the Septics didn’t get their hands on Snowden who is living the high life in Russia.

Re: Assange
I wonder if he's learned anything from the last few years? You know, something he can pass on to others.

Re: Assange
Explain what did he do wrong??? Yes, in 2010, WikiLeaks published a classified US military video showing an Apache attack helicopter gunning down 11 civilians, including two Reuters journalists, on a street in Baghdad in 2007. The video, dubbed “Collateral Murder,” revealed the indiscriminate firing by US forces and sparked international attention.
Just because you wear your countries uniform does not give you the right to murder innocent people.

Re: Assange
That’s right Johnny just like we have had done here. During his time hiding in foreign embassy’s he’s found time to marry one of his solicitors and father two children. By his publishing American military secrets we will never know how many secret operative American lives he was responsible for the capture and probable execution of. Sweden dropped his charges of rape which he used as an excuse for not coming of out hiding behind the neutrality of an embassy. He is one that got away with it to all intents and purposes. Cheers JS….

Re: Assange
#9 I quote from another source …Born 1971 in Townsville, 2006 founded Wikileaks, 1995 fined for hacking, Wikileaks a dead letter drop for leakers of classified information
April 2010 releases leaked video shots showing an air strike. July 2010 releases more than 91000 US secret military reports about the Afghan War. Oct. 2010 releases 400,000 classified military documents.
Among the documents made public were the names of all the friendly afghan and American forces involved in the Afghan War which those who were summary arrested and more than probably executed by the Taliban , he is responsible . The last 3 lines are my personal view only , the first part is facts and that list goes on. If he is considered a hero God help the rest of the world. Anyone who lost family due to his slip shod way of making his name known ,and any family who were lost to his big mouth , may yet have their revenge , so I hope he takes the necessary precautions. Maybe the powers that be have realised this is the better way out of this mess and will save on prison expenses. JS
