Please don't tell me you needed Wikileaks or something similar to know what the real reasons the wars in the Gulf were fought?
Everyone knows, or at least i hope.
Oil and pipelines.

Hardly. I said he doesn't have blood on his hands and you said "oh really". Claiming that it was his responsibility of the actions from the Kenyan people.

Of course has had blood on his hands - he accepts that himself - people died as a result of leaks he facilitated. The rabid fanboism for this bloke is amazing despite all the evidence to the contrary. Kind of shows you how easily religions, messiahs and prophets are created.
This argument simply suggests multiple wrongs make a right and they clearly don't. It's nonsensical to justify his actions by quoting the invasion of Iraq. Assange is like the Governments he holds to ridicule and yet people love him for it. All conspiracy fans seem to think its ok to hurt people as long as you are not the person getting hurt.
It can't be right for Assange to put lives at risk simply because the people he criticises have done it.
Well your telling me that its ok for us to invade a country and kill thousands of people because of information.
But when a nation acts upon information provided and end up killing people its not ok?
WE as a country authorised and implemented the killing of innocent people for the procurement of natural resources and i'm sorry that is FAR FAR worse then a nation acting upon there own free will based of the information they are provided.
But its ok for the British government to put thousand of Mum's and Dad's in the line of fire for the greed of corporations?
So what exactly did the leak do. What did it better? Who's life did it better?
I didn't say any of those things, that suggestion is so far from my post and is so patently silly its not worth a full response![]()
Wiki-leaks killing people i don't believe so But Apache choppers slaughtering people that i do believe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rXPrfnU3G0

I'm not saying you said any of them things, but what i take away from your posts is its ok for the UK government to lie to the public about the war in Iraq and the subsequent deaths of thousands of people.
Yet when an individual releases information that "might" put people in danger, he is hated.
If he wants to take that stance and blame him self, thats his choice.
I personally don't blame him, like i said, how people react to information provided is down to the individual and not the informant.
Craig Murray was a whistle blower Of the torture & rape in uzbekistan, And guess what. A SEX charge appears![]()
The responsability lies with the publisher. Just like in media the responsability is with the writer/editor and can and do get fined and proscuted.
Like i pointed out before. If i told you your partner was cheating with the neighbour and you kill the neighbour, how is his death my responsibility?![]()
it's not but that's a massive difference, to media situation which contains informants, legal trials etc. it's silly to compare the two things.
Why do you think we have laws on media? Or do yo think we should get rid of those laws.
People arenot free to post what ever they like and tats how it should be.
Total freedom of speech with no consequence is a silly idea.
It told the Kenyans that the most popular political party was corrupt. And what did it better, well that party wasn't elected, so i'd say the people.
How they acted upon that was there own responsibility.
