It saddens me that Julian Assange is being left to rot in a UK prison

What it shows me is that whistle blowers are despised by the establishment and those in power will do all they can to muffle them.
US and UK, shameful conduct

Blair and Bush,real war criminals have a life of wealth and luxury.
Assange exposes war crimes and gets a life sentence.

@Entwistle

I learned this lesson long, long ago. The world is an incredibly unfair place. Good, honest, hardworking people don't get ahead or live long while lying, thieving, cheating, fast mouthed people keep their ill-gotten gains, live long healthy lives and don't see the inside of a jail cell more than 24 hours. I don't like it anymore than anyone else, but shit's gonna get a lot worse before it gets any better. Not holding my breath.

The only way to get ahead in this world is to screw other people. I refuse to do that.

@Entwistle That's like saying a murderer also got charged with speeding from the scene of the crime. He wasn't out to expose his version of war crimes. Clearly.

yes, its very sad, he's going down like many other martyrs before him. hopefully history will remember the great sacrifices he made to keep us in the loop of what's going on.

He's coming to the U.S. and he's going to pay for what he did. I consider myself a Progressive but the idea of "freedom of the press" is SO far removed from what this man did and who he is as far as I'm concerned. He's no whistleblower and he's no journalist. Let's not forget that he said Trump told him he'd be pardoned if he denied the Russians were behind the DNC server attacks. He hacked U.S. computers and passed that information along to adversaries. He's a criminal and he's going to pay even more than he already has. So I have a very different take on this one. I guess we'll see how it plays out.
