Julian Assange printed true stories, not classified docs but oh well -. You can't fight the evil empire.

Julian Assange did the work of an investigative journalist which exposed corruption, shameful behaviours and acts hidden behind the government's secrecy. That the government has a need for secrecy is not under question - but to use that to hide dishonest, corrupt and inhumane acts MUST be questioned and exposed. Successful democracy requires transparency and the exposure of corrupt practice.
Of course if you swallow the PR put out by the embarrassed US government then you'll disagree. Disagree away, I care not, I've looked into this.
