Congressman Ron Paul addresses the Wikileaks affair


His address to the House floor yesterday takes five minutes.  TL:DR(L) = he notes that Assange is not the "leaker," but more a publicist of information leaked by U.S. government employees.  He asks why more of the outrage is not directed at the leaker rather than at Assange, and asks if Assange is to be prosecuted for publicizing the material, will the same charges be leveled at the NYTimes, WaPo, The Guardian, etc.

  1. Many people have such a visceral hatred for Ron Paul that it becomes impossible to have a rational discussion about him, but the man speaks pretty plainly, and always makes perfect sense to me.
