To merely store and release this information is a biased choice and it’s also a lawful is. I think it’s a copout to claim that to choose which information to release is bias, where as to release any information at all is not biased. If I understand you or the point correctly.

With what I have read about Assange, personally I wouldn’t want him to be deciding whats relevant.


The legal facts are just as interesting since we’re dealing with laws in many countries. What’s ironic is though you want to stick with the lawful facts and not the moral issues, any lawful case may well take into account Assange’s personal morals and decisions. I just can’t understand discussing Assange in greater context without discussing the moral and legal issues since there is little precedent in this new age.

Lots of questions can relate to either the moral aspect or legal aspect of a case. We are free to discuss whatever we want, no?

I don’t believe Assange’s morals regarding women will come into any trial on the wikileak cables.

Do I understand from your last sentence that no particular aspect of wikileaks can be discussed without discussing everything every time?
