And again, the actual contents of the documents are not relevant.
Folks are trying to argue that Assange is not a criminal because the particular classified information that his website facilitated the release of wasn't particularly damaging. And that's just not the case.

Releasing classified information isn't illegal. The only precedents involved say that there is nothing illegal about it, regardless of how they were stated. While the original leaker is doing something illegal, and I have agreed with this several times (As a disclaimer: Brain can attest, if he has clearance, what he has to sign to get access. At the very least, by leaking, you violate those.)
I can't. I have a clearance that's not high enough to allow access to this level of classified documents. I risk losing it if I do, let alone talk about the classified information within the cables.

I just wish people would evaluate this based on what has actually been done, instead of what they have been told has been done.
I'm so tired of this political system where the politicians just try to manipulate and distract people, instead of having them evaluate something on it's own merits.

A society of no organized protection against force, and every citizen has been compelled to go about armed, to turn his home into a fortress, to shoot any strangers approaching his door—or to join a protective gang of citizens who would fight other gangs, formed for the same purpose, and thus bring about the degeneration of that society into the chaos of gang-rule, i.e., rule by brute force, into perpetual tribal warfare of prehistorical savages.
Sounds like a great place to sell arms and make a buck!

The government solution to a problem is usually as bad as the problem.

Then it's funny to read quotes about Marxism and lol.
I like to laugh at this one, from the man himself:
**** gets me every time.
Milton Friedman
or this:
A free America... means just this: individual freedom for all, rich or poor, or else this system of government we call democracy is only an expedient to enslave man to the machine and make him like it.
