re: #132 Killgore Trout

Can someone explain to me why open discussion of the Wikileaks thing is causing so much outrage here? I really honestly don’t get it.

Perhaps it has something to do with the fevered attempt to label the guy a terrorist yesterday. I have no love for the guy, but assassinating him, or labeling him a terrorist (two ideas forwarded here yesterday) are way over the line.

What Assange does is bound to be unpopular. It is bound to make him enemies. It doesn’t make him a monster.
