RE: Op Ed: Washington Post, Legacy Press Betray Assange As His Freedom Hangs In The Balance
One thing that I don't understand.Even if they arrest and prosecute Assange,Wikileaks will still operates the same way,they will be even more determined to fight the good fight and Assange would become a martyr.So why does he matter if they can't bring the whole institution down?
Thats what the USA likesabout it. They like big enemies, so they can squeese more tax dollars out of their citizens, and funnel more pocket change into their own corrupt pockets.
As a result they gain even more control over poor citizens with ever more expensive surveillance and weapon bullshit.
If they can get their hands on him, they can torture him till he reveals his sources (who will all suddenly and mysteriously die), and they can have full control over his environment in order to try to force him into becoming controlled opposition.
