If he's an enemy whose aim is to see the US destroyed, how is he not a terrorist?

That's basically what I said... The PFC - probably not a terrorist, and he may even be a whistleblower He released some disturbing things about the Rules of Engagement... The Diplomatic Documents Leaker - probably a terrorist, and one only bent on embarrassing the US Should he face capital punishment for it?... probably

What it boils down to is that the news is on Assange and Wikileaks, who are not the problem. They are a foreign group of volunteers running a whistle blower website, and reporting on the documents that have been sent to them. It is irresponsible for them to seem to have a vendetta against the United States, but it is not irresponsible for them to report on leaked documents. Journalists should report on whatever large pieces of information they come across, especially primary sources, and especially those that may show evidence of corruption or deception. The focus right now should no

I can't say I have a real opinion either, because both sides seem to have some points. Yes government transparency should be important, but at what extent does the government lose its effectiveness from disclosures. I think the most interesting part of it is that Assange has essentially become a villain worthy of a James Bond film, complete with really cool underground lair!
