I wasn't denying that.  I was aware of that.  Nothing you have brought up is news to me.  But do You do not think that other nations and corporations have as much to gain in putting a stop to wikileaks?  It's not just the U.S. government.  I still do not think the guy is a hero-nor *merely* being railroaded (in other words, he might be a rapist asshole).

I wonder how people would feel had wikileaks been around in WW 2.
