Assange can't ever do anything to mitigate the big lie of 'Collateral Murder'. In a just world, he would have been executed already.

What lie? Are you suggesting the whole video was faked? If your "just world" includes executing journalists for exposing corruption count me out.

What lie?

"US Army attacked and killed innocent journalists"

As that annotation is on screen, you see the militants carrying their AKs and RPGs away from their last attack a few blocks away. That lie. The whole basis for the "Collateral Murder" video was a lie.

One of them did have a camera. "Somehow", that camera turned the whole group of terrorists into innocent journalists. Speaking of cameras, how do you think their beheading and torture videos make it to the internet?
