You know guys I think we should discuss not Assange and his "political objective" but the US diplomats and the info he gave about them. Who they actually are to give besmirching descriptions of people and especially of politicians? In fact most normal countries call it slander and punish it in accordance with their laws. And what about the USA, is she an exception? Or there’s such queer sense of freedom of speech? Imho a very thorough international investigation of the affair ought to be conducted... and they have to make Washington punish all the guilty ones! Otherwise the americans may well feel immune to such stuff and later we’ll see such rotten comments not only in private correspondence but in public speeches too...
