Even a stopped clock is right sometimes. Assange, in ripping the facade of our corrupt political masters, is right. Without him, they would have kept this dirt (including their role in climategate) hidden for decades. BTW, if Conyers is a trator so are Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh for quoting and documents made available by Assange.

I do get the 'corrupt political masters' angle, and I'm actually with ya, but there are ways to expose these people without seriously hurting our national interests.

In the process of removing the rotting teeth, let us not cut off the head.

Agreed. The content of the leaked documents (that it was kept from We The People) is worse than their leaking by Assange, IMHO.

Posturing politicians in DC clamoring for Assange's head are either blind to the likely future misuse of such prosecutorial authority, or using Assange as an excuse for a power grab: prosecute Assange today, censor Free Speech tomorrow.
