I don't like the us foreign policies at all, nor the military forces and all the politicians everywhere collecting dust with their knees when the us is manhandling instead of using diplomatic channels.
However, I don't like wannabe anarchists like him never, ever taking responsibility.
He ran away from the Sweden case, whatever that was about.
And I don't like this "he was just propagating the messages that are sent to him". He was taking money(called donations) and the operation was large, WikiLeaks is not some one person garage operation.
This was internal government document leaking as a service, period.
Many Californian companies are generously using NDAs for much less critical info and leakers or thieves pay hefty consequences. Why wouldn't Assange?
In many places this would be classified as straight up espionage.
He provocated the us government and military, of course they were to go after him.
It's not right, it might not be legal, but it was bound to happen.
Anarchists don't believe in rulers ,rulers don't believe in anarchy and the rulers have the bigger guns, plain and simple.
