Wikileaks Assange Persecuted by US?

[The Dharma Bum]

No more than working at BBC, MSNBC or FOX News causes a lack of credibuility. All are propaganda organs that are bias in favor of their respective interests.

Little to no difference.

"The problem is not that Assange told everyone what the US does. The real problem is that the US does the kind of bullshit it does. These activities do not promote American interests, nor do they help protect US interests.

If anything US foreign policy is risky, impulsive behavior on the part of unscrupulous, dysfunctional people who do not really understand their proper social function. This makes our position in the world far more precarious and it is readily observable that our leadership is presiding over a massive decline of our power and prestige due to these ill-conceived activities.

Shooting the messenger isn't going to fix our problems."

They are both publication that are dedicated to showing a particular viewpoint in a good light.

It's just the way of the world, man.

Assange is a whistle blower, not a rapist or commie spy. So drop that bollocks.

On the contrary it places me with people who recognize blatant corruption and a desperate attempt at a cover-up when they see it. Which is a hell of a lot of people.

No, you claimed there was some consensus that the actions of the US State Dept are legitimate.

Guess what? There isn't.
