How does the U.S. charge Julian Assange with espionage when he exposed our spying on the U.N.?

[David Zephyr]

Is that surreal or is that surreal?

Roll over Beethoven and tell Franz Kafka the news!

I mean...

1. The US should be renamed the "Land of Oz" or "The Rabbit Hole".

[David Zephyr]

4. It is down the rabbit hole as much as anything I've ever witnessed.

I asked my companion last night, how in the hell do they charge him with "espionage" when he was exposing their illegal espionage at the United Nations.

Land of Oz (glinda or galinda) indeed. :)

2. The judge will dismiss it - Assange did NOTHING wrong against the US

These cables needed to be revealed, since WE are the people, and we elect them, not let them hide secrets!

[David Zephyr]

7. I agree. They don't have a case.

And I think the people of Australia are going to rally to him like a hometown hero. I'm with you Hawkeye-X.

3. With lots of airtime.

:boring:

5. Lemme explain the Golden Rule

He who has the gold makes the rules.

8. That's the rule alright, but when crowds are yelling "off with their heads" at Prince Charles...

there's definitly something in the air :)

11. Possible craft project:

1. Quickly transform Camilla's teeth into a guillotine blade.
2. Quickly transform Charles' wooden exterior into a wooden exterior for a guillotine.
3. Go nuts.

6. Fits in pretty well with the miasma of government corruption

Wikileaks exposed. At least they're staying in character.

[David Zephyr]

9. "at least they're staying in charater."

This is simply fascinating watching the governments of the world drinking their own hypocritical piss in front of the entire planet. "staying in character" indeed.

10. Wikileaks have been a reality check for me

and I've often thought I've gotten too cynical to live. Well, apparently that was a failure of imagination. :(
