Then you support the corruption of the governments across the world. Go ahead and try to say you don't. It won't matter because you do. He's trying to let people know the truth, and they're using the rape accusations—which are false; the women bragged about having sex with him the following day. The one woman only wanted him to get tested after he didn't wear a condom. The police took that as a rape accusation—to try to send him to the US. The government is just mad that they're being exposed for the evil they do behind closed doors.

Note: bradley manning is a queer traitor and should pay for the treason he has done.

Yes I have. If the Republican party had not tried to do to him what he willfully did to the Govenrment he would have spent his life in jail for spying.
He is NO hero in my book.

You can't fight the charges when it is obviously a set up by the most powerful government on the planet. He has answered them at length for all the good it has done him.

These trumped-up charges were already dismissed once on the grounds that there wasn't enough evidence. It is just an excuse to get him indefinitely detained by our despot presidente.

So, you know he's guilty?? Were you there? Do you personally know these two women? Where have you done your research? Have you ever been on a jury? He is merely wanted for questioning about trumped up rape charges. He has not been charged with anything.

Sweden will extradite him to US. Do you you actually CONDONE killing civilians (women, men, children, and elders) in a war and keeping it SECRET?

If a man is innocent he should shout it from the rooftops and be anxious to have his day in court. A man with something to hide holes up in an embassy

He HAS been shouting it from the rooftops. His day in court? Bradley Manning has been tortured for over two years while waiting for HIS "day in court." Jose Padilla (who was nothing but a stupid, petty criminal) was tortured for years until, by the time he got his "day in court," he was little more than a vegetable unable to utter a coherent sentence and willing to admit to anything.

he committed the unpardonable sin of publishing stuff that is embarrassing to the PTB so they're determined to make an example of him. and those countries that tout 'freedom of the press' and 'transparency' are in the vanguard. go figure.

Don't try to justify his actions. Government corruption needs to be dealt with on it's own terms. His actions are the point here. Stay away from the nebulous arguments.

There's nothing nebulous about it. It was the Government corruption that endangered the troops, not his exposure of it.

On the flip side it seems you are justifying the corruption. No one in the government is doing anything to stop the BS. When governments get out of control it is the job of the people to get it back in line no matter what. That's why the declaration of Independence was written. These new rules these bastards came up with let them do their dirt in the dark. We need to end that.

I for one thank Julian Assange for exposing just how rotten our US government has become. They think they can violate human rights (both foreign and domestic) and get away with it. If they can do it to foreigners, what makes you think they won't hesitate to do it to their own citizens? Our government is rotten to the core. It's about time our citizens wake up to this before they have us all in shackles.

Assange is guilty of spying and espionage, he needs to be sent to the United States for a trial.
He bit off more than he could chew and now he is running scared. Probably should have considered the consequences of his actions....too late now! He will never make it to Ecuador.

You'll have to get through the British public first. Thousands outside the embassy heckling police and voicing support for assange. We appreciate the good work he's done, despite what our government want.
