  The man can’t be some free speech martyr while picking and choosing what docs to publish from which nation. It’s all, nothing, or you’re a state asset, witting or not. To figure out what state that might be, look no further than the leaks he made every excuse not to publish.

  I believe most of the bad things he was accused of turned out to be FUD, Kompromat and defamation.

    I am not talking about that, I am talking about how he staged the releases of leaks, he did it more to keep WL in the spotlight than to give focus on the leaks themselves.
