Since Bob Morris has pointed out that even some who are typically rebellious in their rhetoric are condemning Julian Assange, I think it’s worth pointing out how historically important Assange (and Wikileaks, of course) could be.

I think the last flick I’ve seen more than three times in theaters was Star Wars in 1977 when I was a sprite 11 years old. Yesterday, I saw James Cameron’s “Avatar” for the third time eagerly sharing each viewing with family and friends. Avatar’s latest box office has it ranked as the second [...] Columbia is the only country there that still freely allow the US to militarize within its borders. So the US is building seven new bases there and planning to station nuclear weapons there too. This is complete madness, dealing with the most thuggish government in the area while deliberately provoking other countries. Tell me again [...] Wali Jan Sabri, a parliamentarian from Helmand, Afghanistan, claims that NATO bombing raids killed 50 – 60 civilians yesterday. In response, Lieutenant-Colonel Charlie Mayo, spokesman for the British forces in Helmand, said this: “Because the Taliban don’t wear uniforms like us, as soon as they are killed, they are called civilians, the key is are [...] The question of religion, specifically Islam, is being played out as a stalking horse on the political left.

Korea missile North Korea might launch a missile that many South Korea newspapers say might well be a satellite yet the US responds hysterically by saying they might shoot it down.
