Julian Assange is a very brave man and should be admired

Edited on Sat Aug-21-10 11:52 AM by quinnox

I did not know he is only 39 years old too. Can you imagine having the courage to speak out about a war and go up against the power and resources of the most powerful country in the world? Knowing that the CIA and other organizations with unlimited funds were going to go after you and do everything they could, including making up dirt if they couldn't find any after going through your life with a fine tooth comb to bring you down? And that you might even be putting your life in danger for being so outspoken?

Damn, I wish I had the kind of courage this man must have.

How about the Iranians who were killed for protesting an election. There are many worthy heroes who show courage and sacrifice every day.
