“Questions to consider:<\/p>\n

Number 1: Do the America People deserve know the truth regarding the ongoing wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen?<\/p>\n

Number 2: Could a larger question be how can an army private access so much secret information?<\/p>\n

Number 3: Why is the hostility mostly directed at Assange, the publisher, and not at our governments failure to protect classified information?<\/p>\n

Number 4: Are we getting our moneys worth of the 80 Billion dollars per year spent on intelligence gathering?<\/p>\n

Number 5: Which has resulted in the greatest number of deaths: lying us into war or Wikileaks revelations or the release of the Pentagon Papers?<\/p>\n

Number 6: If Assange can be convicted of a crime for publishing information that he did not steal, what does this say about the future of the first amendment and the independence of the internet?<\/p>\n

Number 7: Could it be that the real reason for the near universal attacks on Wikileaks is more about secretly maintaining a seriously flawed foreign policy of empire than it is about national security?<\/p>\n

Number 8: Is there not a huge difference between releasing secret information to help the enemy in a time of declared war, which is treason, and the releasing of information to expose our government lies that promote secret wars, death and corruption?<\/p>\n

Number 9: Was it not once considered patriotic to stand up to our government when it is wrong?<\/p>\n

Thomas Jefferson had it right when he advised ‘Let the eyes of vigilance never be closed.’ I yield back the balance of my time.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
