Assange and wikileaks

I supported the leaks showing what our military did that was unconscionable in Iraq.

However they lost me on the cables release.

I have been asking myself if we on the left gave some sort of support to russia unknowingly and helped perpetuate a long term Russian effort to harm the US.

Uncomfortable question I know. But it is one I have asked myself.

Assange was a darling of the left until his ties to Russian intelligence became clear. But there are still plenty of people on the left who still adore him.
