Let's see we heard top US Government officials refer to Assange, an International, multiple-award-winning editor and publisher, as a terrorist, traitor, (that was funny considering his nationality) a criminal etc merely for publishing facts.
Thanks to the enormous support he received from all over the world and the condemnation of those who, shamefully in our own government, were prepared to treat him as an enemy revealing more about THIS country at the present time than anything else, they had to pull back from openly going after him and allowed their Swedish Right Wing (friends of Rove) Government do their work for them. No one has been fooled by what is going on re Wikileaks, except for those who want to be.
Wikileaks, like Robert Scheer, Glenn Greenwald, Hedges and so many other great journalists, to the left were all heroic, lauded for doing what the MSM did not do, until Bush was no longer in power.
The hypocrisy is amazing.
