I hope you are aware of the multi-pronged smear campaign against Assange. The US government hired Palantir and HB Gary to infiltrate WikiLeaks and cause rifts, and put out negative press about him. This is just what leaked, let alone their entire strategy.
Even if he were guilty of some information crime, the level of persecution against him by the US government is way overboard and not in proportion to the supposed offense.
But it is clear to me and many others that what he was doing was journalism, even if you don't like his message and methods. He should be protected at all costs.
