This conversation is now boring to me. I have work to get done and will leave you to your continued slamming of someone who tried to stop Human Rights abuses in countries across the world, and succeeded a few times. For doing the job our media refused to do during the Bush years of crimes against humanity.
If you want to defend the Bush war criminals from being exposed, then you are supported by our Government sadly and that is your right.
Me, I want to see war criminals and economic criminals thoroughly exposed, charged, prosecuted and convicted and I thank anyone, Manning, Ellsberg, Assange, the Chinese dissidents who were a part of the foundation of Wikileaks, for doing what most of us do not have the courage to do on behalf of the tortured, the abused, the raped, the murdered people all over the world.
Assange has received many awards for that work. Manning knew that he would pay a price for trying to stop the torture he witnessed, but went ahead anyhow.
I am satisfied that my opinion on who is right and who is wrong in this story, is shared by most of the good people of the world, like Ellsberg and so many, many others.
The War Criminals have their supporters also, most of the usual suspects on the far right who have always hated exposure or even any criticism of torture and murder perpetrated by their heroes, Bush and his cabal of war criminals, but I am not one of them.
