re: #395 laZardo

I believe in accountability and transparency. I also do not believe it should have come to this. The United States had several years to admit its abuse early on and risk a smaller global backlash than it did early on.

What makes the United States stand out amidst other countries committing graver human rights abuses (e.g. Russia and China) is that they also pride themselves as a role model of human rights. As such, it is especially hypocritical of them to go to such lengths to cover it up or distract from them.

If there is anyone to be held accountable, it is those members of the United States government that actively engaged in these cover-ups. Julian Assange is the messenger, and should not be proverbially (or literally) shot for it.

What cover-ups are you talking about, exactly?

Because from what I’ve seen so far, there’s not much covering up being exposed.
