I am a supporter of Wikileaks; I know not everyone is. I feel deeply sympathetic to Julian Assange and believe that what he is being prosecuted for is based on his politics. However, he’s suicidal and would end his life under US prison conditions.

It knows exactly what it is doing. By indicting the first ever publisher it intends to trump the protections afforded to journalists and send a chilling message, 'Expose our dirty secrets and we'll pounce on you like a ton of bricks.' I just wish the White House would revert to the policy of Obama where he decided that he couldn't prosecute Assange without implicating every single journalist and media organization.
What reputation? The old "land of the free" one they discarded years ago?
Sorry, that was a bit snarky, but I'm sick of seeing what has been done to Julian Assange. He's effectively done years of solitary confinement style jail already. I bet they didn't let him keep his cat either. Our rulers are clearly sadists.
