Like him or not, this is what happens to real journalists and journalism.
Which is why real journalism doesn't exist anymore.

- He did what real journalists should've done: uncovering a lot of shit and corruption. And not to forget all the war crimes.NBQ00

- He steals or is given stolen information, And publishes the information as is. How is that journalism?jmckinno
- WikiLeaks is not engaged in journalism because it doesn’t analyze or contextualize the material it publishes; it merely serves as a dumping ground for informatijmckinno
- he brought/leaked the truth about innocent killings (manning) to the public. now he has to pay for it. hope UK does not give him to US, it would be wrong. asyl.api
- jmckinno - he leaked it to newspapers who contextualised it for us, right? And being locked in a room for 7 years surely makes anyone a narcissistIanbolton

"why not let him just rot and mentally screw him over?"
probably exactly what's going to happen anyway.
UK delivers him to SWE in the end, SWE will find him guilty, but no jail time. b/c not that great an offense.
US won't find legal grounds to charge him with anything (unfortunately).
delusional ego-whore that assange is, he will continue to look for spotlight from safe haven in s-america ever after. mentally screwing is not necessary b/c he's already a legitimate nutcase.

"Mr. Assange would not get a fair trial in the United States and could face the death penalty there"
in theory reasonable, but not in reality. they do not even seek death penalty for manning. and that case is a flawless, perfect case of 1st degree treason. ecuadorians need to get over themselves..
