Julian Assange should be freed : Comments

By Peter Bowden, published 24/12/2021

What did Julian Assange do that such powerful countries want him condemned ? For he is not guilty of any crime. Guilty only of exposing wrongdoings.

So, what has Assange actually done ? If he published sensitive information be it right or wrong, publishing sensitive information he did & for that he has served enough time.
Let him go & make him promise not to stick his nose into sensitive information ever again.
If he writes a novel about this he'll be a multi-millionaire overnight & he should be happy with that.
Let him live somewhere out of the reach of Australia & the USA.

To Jayb, and other posters who are constantly having a go at other people's opinions. I don't give a toss whether you agree or disagree with my opinions. I don't intend to change them any more than you are prepared to change your opinions. Just say what you think on the matter, and move on. None of our opinions are going to make a damn of difference to what happens to Assange anyway. And that includes the ideological ramblings of Peter Bowden. Get over yourselves.

The charges against Assange aren't about the publishing of the stolen data but that he encouraged espionage and/or instigated espionage and/or actually took part in espionage. If he merely received the stolen data from Bradley Manning and published it there would never have been a problem.

But it is alleged, he did much more than just publish as above. the charge is that he had some part in the theft by Manning. Silly claims that Australia has any say in this is ignorant. The things he's charged with took place overseas and against another country. In the same way that the Australian government has no roll if a citizen is charged with stealing in another country, we have no roll here.

Besides, do we really want to bring a rapist back into this country?

I have no problem with your opinion. Your opinion is yours. I didn't ask you to change it. I only asked a question, for the sake of clarity, that all.

There is no need to go off Half Cocked about mine or anyone else's opinion. Strewth, young fella settle down. Firing up makes you look like a Goose. Ay.

Yes, mhaze, there is also the Swedish incident that would have had the wrath of the usual suspects brought down upon any other 'white, privileged Australian male'. This bloke is not just a naughty boy: he is a low life and enemy of the US, and by default, Australia and the West. Even the Labor party hasn't gone it to bat for him.

It's clearly the loony left, anti-American mob that's making a fuss over this nasty piece of work.

..unless truth telling is wrong.
ateday,
In a society full of sane people that'd be the right thing but when you have what we have where people can't handle the truth then muzzling them is for the good of all the good !
