Individual - “ What about the moral aspect ? Jeopardising many peoples' lives ?”

What about it? What about the morality of 18 years of illegal AND immoral wars which have conservatively killed one million (1,000,000) people and maimed and destroyed the lives of millions more.

If Assange is bereft of morals, what do we say about the war criminals who have perpetrated these crimes against humanity? Peas and carrots anyone?

In the mix, Julian shone the spot light on horrific war crimes committed by the n.american military.

And for that, he should be given a medal.

..

Thereafter, I fail, as of yet, to understand the legal basis underpinning the charges against him.

He did not commit crimes inside n.america.
He is not a n.american citizen.

Exactly which n.american laws have extraterritorial effect over non-american citizens?

Have they perhaps classified him as an information "terrorist?" or something of that ilk?

Would anyone like to tune me in to what I am missing?
