Julian Assange is a hero. He did what our media is too chicken to do
I don't care who's in office, this kind of shit should be out there.

No one will die because of it, but corrupt governments might find themselves on the out.

1. Good luck with this thread.
Be prepared to duke it out if you stay on tonight.

I happen to agree, but you'll find many people who don't.

They will be here shortly.

My question is: just because a Democrat is doing it - does that make it right?

42. I think you may be surprised - there are quite a lot of us who consider him a hero
and rightly so! It's about time the trasparency Obama promised is finally delivered - cause Obama sure won't do it - so it falls on people like computer geek Julian Assange and the awesome Bradly Manning for taking such personal risk to see that TRUTH sees the light of day. People who don't like the truth - can't handle the truth? Too bad.

76. Assange and Bradley Manning are both heros in my book. ..
Anyone who disagrees can get back to me after we stop blowing up people's children and other family members in the ME. Also when our constitutional scholar president stops telling us he has the right to have individuals assassinated anywhere in the world without benefit of due process.

What really is the difference between him and Sarah Palin? Both throw bombs in crowded theaters for no real reason.

116. Did you really just state there is no difference between Julian Assange and Sarah Palin?
Edited on Wed Dec-01-10 09:33 PM by slay
Your analogy is flawed and foolish neither "throws bombs". I shouldn't even continue to respond to your foolish statement but I have a couple more things to say.

If you can't handle the truth, that's your problem, not mine.

Wikileaks exists because the corruption is massive and people who are against it had nowhere to turn.

I could easily call you an attention seeking charlatan as well. :eyes:

Assange and Manning are heroes.

And why is it those of you who come on DU spouting nonsense with no reasons to back it up NEVER have your profile info visible. Guess you really are a big FAN OF SECRETS huh?

4. I think Assange will be a hero ...
... if Wikileaks efforts actually lead to an end to the war in Afghanistan or Iraq.

If however the standard is because of his efforts, then a whole lot of people deserve hero status.

... and for that Obama is a hero. Now if we can just get the 50K or so "non-combat troops" in Iraq back home.

On Afghanistan, sadly, I suspect Sec-Ops ain't gonna let that end.

19. I never said it did
Let me put it to you this way. Assange says that Wikileaks has released more classified documents than the rest of the world press combined.

"That's not something I say as a way of saying how successful we are – rather, that shows you the parlous state of the rest of the media. How is it that a team of five people has managed to release to the public more suppressed information, at that level, than the rest of the world press combined? It's disgraceful." -- Julian Assange

There are those of us who expect more of the fourth estate than what we are getting.

This is how the Internet is changing the world.

80. Do a bit of research for a change instead of spouting off talking points.
Link here: http://www.deseretnews.com/article/700087204/Lawyer-Assange-is-being-persecuted-in-Sweden.html

Assange is wanted on suspicion of rape, sexual molestation and unlawful coercion. The exact nature of the allegations aren't completely clear — formal charges have yet to be tabled — but Sweden's rape laws are broader than in many other European countries.

Swedish prosecutors have disagreed about whether to label the most serious charge as rape.

Stephens has previously said that the allegations were made after Assange had consensual sex with two women who turned on him after becoming aware of each other's relationships.


The article is dated Dec. 1st 2010.

73. If that happens, the world will laugh and it will make his predictions
from a few months ago, complete with a CIA memo planning to smear him. You can no longer count on our media to influence world opinion. People expected him to be smeared and the sad thing is, even IF it were true, which the women themselves actually denied originally (did you forget that part?) no one is going to believe it anyhow, except for a few who have a vested interest in covering up the lies told by governments to their people.

Why do you want to censor the news? Had Wikileaks been around in 2003 while our useless, coopted media was cheering the lies, an awful lot of human beings might still be alive today. And this country would be a whole lot better off and might still have some credibility.

38. You can't seriously be comparing what Cheney did to Valerie Plame
with Wikileaks.

Cheney did what he did to hurt the wife of a whistleblower. Assange is doing it to save the world. There's a MASSIVE difference.

There can't be a negative consequences to what Assange has done.

Secrecy in foreign policy always leads to right-wing and militaristic choices.

75. That's the talking that must have come from the memo to smear
Assange and get the left on board. It is so weak an attempt, they used to be better with their talking points, that it actually demonstrates the desperation they feel now that people are getting a good look at how these governments, not just the U.S. btw, operate.

That comparison is laughable. But intelligent people know that already. I've seen it now so often you know it has to be a talking point.

I see no difference between the irresponsible bleating of Sarah Palin and Assange. The only difference is that many lean toward Assange, while viewing Palin as a pariah. Both are cut from the same self serving and irresponsible cloth.

10. I wonder if any of these leaks will reopen the Plame outing case.
I keep thinking about the difference between leaking crimes versus leaking operatives doing their work.

I'm thankful for Assange, even if the leaks do do some damage. They'll do more good than bad.

16. Assange says that Wikileaks has released more classified documents than the rest of the world press
"That's not something I say as a way of saying how successful we are – rather, that shows you the parlous state of the rest of the media. How is it that a team of five people has managed to release to the public more suppressed information, at that level, than the rest of the world press combined? It's disgraceful."

62. His actions are revolutionary
And the powers that be - hate him for it.

If you have nothing to hide - you have nothing to fear, but fear itself. If you say something, or write something that is potentially "embarrassing" - then there is a very easy fix....adjust your behaviour so you will not put yourself or others into that situation.

And HERE IS THE KICKER....IF YOU, AS A DIPLOMAT, POSSESS INFORMATION FROM UNDERCOVER INFORMANTS, AND THAT INFORMATIONS RELEASE COULD ENDANGER THEIR LIVES....THEN MARK THAT INFORMATION TOP SECRET...OR FIND A WAY TO ENCRYPT IT....this is not rocket science. Do not blame the leaker for your laziness, or your own lack of moral compass that would find ENOUGH FUCKING CONCERN to make sure that information went to only the eyes it was supposed to go.

Calling Putin and Medvedev Batman and Robin.....yeah that is STUPID, disrespectful, arrogent, infantile. Again - this is not the fault of the leaker - but the asshole who wrote it.

We are at a crossroads here. Either we embrace an open society, and all the lumps and embarrassment that entails.....or we justify a secretive closed authoritarian one. If we choose the later, then we have sacrificed our democracy, and the principle that governments work FOR the PEOPLE, not in spite of them.

74. Your headline kind of changed my mind
I was a bit on the fence about Wikileaks. I recognize that there are necessary secrets governments must keep. I also thought that revealing all the private opinions of our diplomats was unnecessary and damaging. There were some things about Wikileaks I agreed with and some things I didn't.

But then you got me thinking about what our press has become, corporate-owned shills out for nothing more than the bottom line. And how miserably the press failed us, particularly during the buildup to the Iraq war. And I started thinking of Wikileaks as an inevitable evolution. As the old fourth wall dies or corporatizes itself into irrelevancy, this has what has arisen to take its place. Like the press even back in its heyday Wikileaks ain't perfect, but it's just as necessary and inevitable. I think Assange and Wikileaks changes everything and we're witnessing the history-making birth of something big. Like any birth it won't be pretty.

He is an accused rapist which every one this site would be calling him if his motivations were of right wing nature. NO ONE would be defending him with his very large ego looking for his 15 min of fame.



US diplomats need to be able to meet with foreign leaders without reading about it in the paper. Secret diplomacy often leads to breakthroughs. For years the US had secret negotiations with China for years before we established relations. what if that broke before it was ready to be made news. Israel had pragmatic relations with many Arab countries including the U.A.E. What ever progress was made in that area can we throw out the window.

Not everything the government does should be made public. Also lets remember that Mr. Assange did not obtain this information in a legal matter.

132. quite the coincidence yes, but had they sent the notice next year
then those who support him would claim it was related to whatever info he had most recently released.

Meaning that no matter when the notice gets sent, those who consider him a hero would say the warrant is a smear campaign based on whatever was recently released. If he is as innocent as he claims, why is he hiding away rather then traveling to Sweden and answering the questions they have for him(the fact that he seems to try avoiding doing that counts against him in my eyes).

I will admit to hoping that he or atleast wikileaks if he is found guilty keeps up the hard work on releasing documents that actually reveal information about corruption, illegal activities or crimes.

113. He has offered to answer their questions many times. The police are the uncooperative ones.
He already willingly answered their questions once, while he was in Sweden (he was only there to give a speech). He asked to leave the country, and they gave him permission to do so. He didn't "flee". He was there for a visit, was questioned, and was told that he was free to go...so he went home.

When the police asked to interview him again, he stated that he didn't want to fly back to Sweden AGAIN, just to answer some questions. He's offered to meet them anywhere in Britain, to visit and submit to questioning at the Swedish embassy, or to perform an interview by telephone or video teleconference. The only thing he has REFUSED to do is spend a ton of money to fly to another country JUST to answer some questions...especially when the head prosecutor has already slapped the local prosecutor down once while publicly stating that there was no grounds for a case against Assange.
