re: #222 MisterCookie

If he limited document releases to genuine, bona fide evidence of corruption, then I’d be praising Assange as a hero. Instead, for no reason other to cause embarrassment to every one involved, he’s also helpfully dumped diplomatic cables that contain no harmful information, as well as previously releasing confidential information about informants. The behavior is more like an anarchist than a responsible government watchdog.

In other news, why the fuck isn’t that information about the extra 15,000 Iraqis killed a bigger story? All I’m seeing is fucking tabloid crap about how the US doesn’t like Putin - big shocker there.

Because the far-left put out so many “ELEVENTY MILLION!!!11” casualty reports out of Iraq that it didn’t seem very bad. Also, once you get past 100,000, the exact number of deaths doesn’t seem quite as important. “One death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic” has some validity in terms of human thought.
