    The Australian government voted on a motion to bring him home. He is a journalist who did nothing wrong.

      You mean besides the rape where he hid in Ecuador until the statute of limitations ran out?

        Every political opponent of America is a rapist and their hard drive is filled with child porn when they get arrested

        There’s a pattern here…

        It must be the pedophilia that makes them expose America

    Whatever you think of Assange, you should know why the US government wants to prosecute him. He published this among other things:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8xhH0FkCQg

    Context: that’s a US gunship firing on Reuters journalists among other civilians including kids.

      Isn’t it bonkers that they want to put him in jail for publishing a thing that is today hosted freely on YouTube?

          I know, it’s about the conspiracy charge, it was a poorly worded musing.
