Assange is many things, several of them reprehensible. However, I have never heard of him accused of pedophilia. Rape, yes, by the Swedish government, but not pedophilia.
He gets support around here because is on a crusade against secrecy by the powers that be. Currently, hsi target is our opponents Obama, Clinton and the Democrat Party.
However, neither Mr. Assange, nor his Wikileaks partners t care as to legitimacy of that secrecy, nor does he care about the impact of his crusade. They publishes information without regard to the consequences.
We should remember he is a snake who bites at any convenient target. For now, he is, at most, a tactical ally against a common foe. At some point he will release information that will undermine an interest of this nation that FReepers unequivocally support. Don’t be surprised when he does.
Wow, I have a lot of typos in that post...
You're not wrong about that. I still hope he sues CNN.
