You’re missing the big point. What was revealed was the massive illegal activities of the US intel community in spying ON the American people.

Nobody nominated Assange and/or Wikileaks to be judge and juror when it comes to trying to "fix" the "illegal activities" in the intel community.

You should never attempt to fix a crime by committing another crime, though some would equate that with "righteousness" and "heroics".

Your "judge and juror" straw man fallacy aside, legitimate whistleblowers aren't nominated.

There is a necessity defense. Sometimes the law can ensconce the immoral. All you are saying is that a robot is a robot.
