#1 Who's Worse‐Julian Assange or the New York Times and Washington Post?

Is this a trick question?

#2 Must be a Zen thing like the sound of one hand clapping or the sound of shrugging.

#3 Don't forget the times blew up the Bush 44 intelligence operation that monitored cellphone calls and how they blew up waterboarding and other intelligence gathering protocols that were yielding significant material in our war on terrorism.

I propose that without those blow ups of our intelligence, we might have had a handle on ISIS years earlier.

#4 Who's Worse‐Julian Assange or the New York Times and Washington Post?

The government keeps way too many secrets from the citizenry, but I don't want freelancers, media types or actual spies and traitors deciding what gets outed.

#5 Considering Assange did NOTHING wrong... going with the Post and Times. They're slanderous hounds, if nothing else. Assange is a foreigner who has no duty to protect any US secrets, first of all. And secondly, he tattled on people far and wide who, most of the time, were actually on the other side (the globalists of the EU and US foreign policy who defy Putin just so they can continue to involve the US in a bunch of pointless, minor wars). I'll repeat... "Conspiring with Chelsea Manning" was not a crime for Assange because he isn't an American. Why the hell would you expect him to hold our secrets as sacred? Would you, an American citizen, hold secrets sacred for the EU (don't lie, people of the Burg, you know you wouldn't).
