You guys think the world is a much darker place than it actually is. Hollywood's definitely gotten to the lot of you  |
People die all the time, and an investigation will only go as far as the investigating authorities will take it. CIA doesn't kill people or break their legs, but they know plenty of people who do.
Assange is a non-entity who's leaks do nothing to harm the status quo. For the most part he makes garden-variety people think that the government should do more to hold on to their secrets, while at the same time being held up as a pseudo-hero to the counter-cultural types. In reality he is nothing but a tool who makes others into tools, and furthers the angst which profits the haves against the have-nots.
In a world full of problems, Julien Assange and Wikileaks don't add up to a fart in the wind.
