10. Assange has no duty to keep American secrets..
Given that he's not an American.

It is my opinion that less government secrecy in the world would be a good thing, it's hard for citizens in a democracy to decide for whom to vote when they are deliberately kept unaware of much that their government does.

Obviously there are some things that should stay secret but I think it's fair to say that secrecy is often abused in order to hide wrongdoing or embarrassing events.

The timing of the current outrage against Assange is interesting, the full fury was unleashed when Assange revealed that he had incriminating documents against a major bank.
