Add to that, wikileaks has been sloppy in releasing information that puts people's lives at risk and he's caused more bad than good. I hope, hope, hope his case is defended by great lawyers because I believe we are living in a world that needs to have clear boundaries on what information can be gathered, what can be traded and what needs to stay with the individual.
