Julian Assange, on his leaking of the names of hundreds of Afghan civilian informants into the hands of the Taliban:
"Well, they're informants. So, if they get killed, they've got it coming to them. They deserve it."
I personally don't see much moral need to, for example, somehow obtain proof that the Taliban actually killed people based specifically off of his actions. He obviously doesn't actually care if they did.
Well put. This is the point I was trying to make, but I was more glib. It is perfectly reasonable to criticize someone for jeopardizing peoples' lives, without waiting to find people who were provably killed as a direct consequence.
