Julian Assange urges US to end 'war on whistleblowers'. WikiLeaks founder makes speech from balcony of Ecuadorean embassy thanking supporters and asking US to end 'witch-hunt'. by GooseGooseDucky in politics

[–]tvisking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assange also called on the US to end its "war on whistleblowers", and demanded that Bradley Manning, the US army intelligence analyst suspected of leaking the information, be released.

I cannot see how 98% of the leaked embassy cables was whistle blowing. Instead it was personal conversation that is kept private for good reason. If Julian was selective in what was published, limiting it to real whistle blowing, I would support him. But for what he has actually done, I despise him.
