My main point is that Assange is right at the center of the problem — without him and his “Wikileaks” young Bradley Manning would be just another unknown, ineffective frustrated loser — Assange is the huge enabler of this treasonous behavior, not some sidelight.

And my main point is that he really isn't. There are thousands, maybe millions, of people on this planet who would expose this information to the world if given the chance. We need to stop these leaks at the source. And, if they somehow do get out, we need to focus 99% of our efforts on tracking those who released the information and punish them severely enough as to be a deterrent to future breeches.
