RE: ‘We should talk war crimes & killing civilians, not US espionage claims in this court’ – WikiLeaks head Kristinn Hrafnsson
I just skim the title.
there are no war crimes. Only the laws of war. they are like the waves, not of men making. However each must think to be able to live and die from his own deeds.
Assange is a publisher or help and abeided in manning leaks (ie cracking the password). both way he has been more punished than anything he could have done.
It's just scandaleous. I think one big aspect isn't the @cia revenge (or @dod) but those exposed in the panama papers... It's my guess...
What ever he should be freed since long, was stupid to go to ecatorian embassy (think snowden) and it's a shame how australia let him rot, it's a shame of nation (Exposing it's fakness).
anyway... thanks for keeping the history going...
@sweecee, I am sorry, I did not hear about "Not War Crimes" as the blatant killing of easily identifiable civilians is a war crime. Using a drone to kill a citizen of the country that launched the missile that blew the person up is "Murder in the First Degree" as you have to plan it.
Setting up, and using a "Non-secured" internet Server for official electronic communications is described as "Breach of Security" and is punishable by jail time and a fine.
All Julian Assange did was publish these happenings with the assistance of Chelsea Manning. Australia violated World Court rulings by not getting him home. Ecuadorean policy was violated when after granting citizenship, they revoked it without a hearing.
"Revenge" is the only inherently visible act that the wealthy and powerful use. Hilary Clinton actually said "We should use a drone strike on his ass", another act of Murder? or was she stating this to prevent a "Un-authorized drone strike?
JA should never have been kept in jail as the "Espionage Act" that the U.S. keeps spouting isn't even effective since there is no DECLARATION of war, anywhere. Mich, out,, sorry..just my own opinion..
