On Assange (Again)
Julian Assange has demanded that the U.S. end its “witch hunt” against WikiLeaks. The problem is that there is a bit of an evidence problem.
- There is evidence that the U.S. has investigated the illegal leak of classified information. This is not a witch hunt. This is what you do when classified information gets out.
- There is evidence that the U.S. has investigated whether Assange or somebody else from WikiLeaks violated law by actively assisting in the illegal leak of this classified information. This is not a witch hunt. This is what you do when classified information gets out.
- There is really no evidence that the U.S. government is engaged in a broad “witch hunt” against WikiLeaks.
- There is no evidence that the U.S. has requested Assange be extradited to the U.S. to answer for anything.
- There is evidence that Julian Assange is a vindictive megalomaniac.
- There is evidence that Julian Assange sexually assaulted two women in Sweden.
I’ll take my transparency without a side helping of sexual assault.
