Brad says “Our is merely one of the biggest, one of the stupidest, and one of the most corrupt , and one even our erstwhile allies find a bit overbearing.”

Tom, the article quotes Assange as saying his goal is not a more transparent society but a more just society. I’m glad he has determined himself to be the ultimate arbiter of justice.

I modestly point out your WSJ/Crovitz link terms Assange an anarchist in its title.

And Brad, just what happened to all those people who were picked up in Spain after the bombing right before their election? Does anyone really know? Maybe Assange needs to talk about that.

Brad:

Believe it or not publishing other people’s private correspondence is not a brave thing to do, it is no different than a peeping tom taking pictures of you through your window and then publishing them on the internet after you refuse to pay the ransom.

He is in hiding, he is not out there in the open living like a normal person blowing whistles and speaking truth to power, he is publishing stuff that may or may not be true and may or may not be putting the lives of other people in danger…I listened to the left wail hysterically over the socalled outing of Plame, and here we have someone who is actually outing real people and what does he get from much of the left? An atta boy..so while you slobber in hero worship over the power seeking moron there is someone else whose life is in real danger.

Assange is a nasty man with a desire to create chaos as an end in and of itself.

Brad, you really need to get out of the house more, and see the rest of the world as it really is.
