wikileaks founder such a nice guy

I look at it in the sense that it leaked documents that were of some relevance to dealings with governments around the world. Surely the usefulness of them is debatable but wikileaks was the first to become famous and draw attention and much needed support.

Sure, it wasn't run perfectly. But they had a good thing going on and I still think they do. I don't care about all the ballsy speeches that some people give out, I just like to see someone actually releasing stuff that isn't meant to be released. If you think that's a failure then please yourself.

as i said, i don't see how being famous for doing something wrong (as the core crew of wikileaks stated) can be seen as successful. if all you want is to see released documents regardless of accountability then rock on, wiki was great at doing that. we could all do that. i could tell stories of people and show emails left right and centre, to claim the right to do something without accountability is not success.

and wiki leaks was not only not the first it wasn't even close to being the first. leaks have been famously leaked since the media had an outlet. you only have to look at watergate at noriago at the arns sold by the cia to nicaragua. they will never bring a president down as the watergate leaks did. now that was real journalism. i've said my point on more than one occassion so i'll make this my last one in this thread. everyone, every single person on the planet should be accountable for their actions. he deemed/s himself above this value. the man is a parasitic piece of shit that destroyed what could have been a great organisation.
