Assange assisted with criminal activity. It would be cool to see it argued in court but somebody seems hell bent against examination.

He showed completely innocent Iraqis getting gunned down. Yup, criminal guy there.

So the ends justify the means? That's what you want to run with?

He's a journalist.

He's quite petrified of court for a journalist.

I am petrified of the empire as well.

Your bias is showing.

True. But again, Assange isn't without a voice and some level of due process.

Compare that to being vanished, and/or having your family roped in.
