      Freedom of Press goes out the window? He is a journalist, so censoring and getting rid of 1st Amendment is not a good thing. Censorship does not stop at what you don’t like, it keeps going until things you are for get censored.

        Do you actually know why Assange is in jail? Because, when he released (aka dumped) the cable info he refused to scrub it of identifying ID’s. Other “reputable” organisations (NYT, BBC, DW etc, etc…) did this and were never charged.

        People died or were seriously compromised ecause of what Assange deliberately did. Rest assured that if a Russian citizen did this they would have fallen out of a window.
