No,I don't think so .My perception of Assange is that he is a toxic narcissist and a criminal.Who the fuck put him in charge?
I do not subscribe to the notion of the' public's right to know ANYTHING. (rejecting the notion of innate rights of any kind)
I have only deep suspicion of and contempt for self righteous vigilantes and self described altruists.
Too much goes on in the shadows and the dark and there are too many secrets. Secrets costs a society trust in their government and their institutions. The result of secrets is conspiracy theories, overall anxieties and unrest such as we have now with the state of the economy. Unless there is a true need for confidentiality too much lies in the dark. What better says a patient is on the mend than the shades up and the curtains open?
The world is a dangerous place to live - not because of the people who are evil but because of the people who don't do anything about it.
