I used to think he was crazy, as I still do. Just releasing everything with no filter was crazy, he put alot of American soldiers' lives a Jeopardy. But, I also think the American government is corrupt and abusive of it's power. So Assange has a lot of guts for doing what he did. Being a free thinker myself, Id'e give him a half a dozen episodes to prove his own sanity. Any attempts to censor his message would prove further the corruptness of our society.

Uhm, isn't it our government who put our soldier's lives in jeopardy? Him releasing information about craptastic things they did is irresponsible? What about the fact that they did it in the first place?
 
"will reportedly be seen by over 600 million viewers"

Yet another commonly used and misleading statement.
It/He maybe theoretically accessible by that many people, but that sure is not the same as 'be seen'.
 
[citation][nom]Classzero[/nom]I will refuse to watch any network that hosts this.[/citation]
I was so put off by your comment seen in the quotes that I unhided it just to dislike and hide it back.
 
Julian Assange is an hero. He should get the peace nobel prize.
Glad he's going to have a TV show. It will give him more viewers and more money. wikileaks really needs it.
People don't realise how important this man and wikileaks are. I mean they literally save several thousand lifes. They were the first in showing the world how things really are, they were the first to leak information in order to fight things like SOPA.

I would love to see where you got this information. No, seriously, I actually want to know. Email me.

Anyway, you guys forgot the last part of the article.
-and gets sentenced to death for treason.
 
A true hero, when he isn't raping someone or putting soldiers lives at risk or trying to spread diplomatic secrets to feed his own ego.
 
[citation][nom]tokencode[/nom]Further proof that the only thing Julian is interested in is himself. I am all for free information, but this guy definitely has questionable motives. Information from people with questionable motives is at best questionable. If he was truly interested in freedom of information, everything posted on wikileaks would ahve been made available publically, not just what he decided to release. He is simply trying ot make a name for himself for his own personal gain.[/citation]

i have no doubt that if everything he gained was released, it could start a world war, there is a reason that allot of infromantion never get put out while its still new. im perfectly fine if he sifts through it all and cherry picks the ones that point to corruption, illegal activities, and questionable practices.

----------------------

lets also address the sex crap he has against him...

he slept with 2 women in sweden, the two woman had a concern that he may have had aids, and wanted him tested, went to police, and they charged him with rape.

read up on being male in that country, defiantly some place i never want to visit.

This is a single incident. Yes, it's horrible and never should have happened, but unless you have evidence that the other secret information saved thousands of lives, your point is still to be determined as true.

So let me understand this straight, you trust some guy who wants his own TV show to be in control of information that could start a war?

If you want freedom of information, you should be interested in the whole truth, not Julian's version of it.

BTW it probably was rape, what girl would want to have consensual sex with that guy?
 
[citation][nom]ahnilated[/nom]So you prefer to keep your head in the sand and let the corporations keep doing illegal things?[/citation]

And he has broken no laws himself?

Rape? You where there ?
The women, from what I read in news reports, admitted it was consensual.
