And everyone who was exposed as criminal by a whistleblower ? Are you just as concerned that they are held accountable- not for just the act but also the cover up ?
You sweep with a very very broad brush, and your question becomes unfocused because of it.
Assange's re-distribution of classified material is a criminal act. The whistle-blower is the one who reveals it to Assange -- or the whistle-blowers are the ones who do so.
THEY may have a "reason" for doing so. The nominal "reason" may be noble and all that good stuff. Perhaps not.
But when a shit-bird like Assange just makes it an unedited mass document dump, he couldn't be any more clear that he is indifferent to consequences. If deaths are caused by his improper disclosures, what's that to him? If America's security is compromised in ANY way, what's that to hm?
If the criminal acts of some people are revealed based on the unlawful disclosure, then maybe it's proper to go after those alleged law-breakers. Or, perhaps, prosecutors who are an arm of the government in some ways may feel duty bound not to proceed for reasons to which you and I might not be privy.
Either way, though, the call is NOT Assanges' to make.
