Assange as a journalist broke no laws.

I'm not sure Snowden did either after he tried to expose it to his superiors upon deaf ears.

Absent any fair and honest trials we may never know, as is intended - all while being tried and demonized in the media.

What the state does is treason and worse.

I appreciate your kind sentiment. I'm not leaving for good. I have something to do. My statement was a little fishing expedition and the feedback is heartwarming. It's hard to know if any of this makes any difference. Lacking metatags, I know my cross-posting can be annoying, but I figure building those topical subs is more important than some inconvenience. When I return later in the Winter or Spring with my project's first draft I also intend to build up some WikiSpooks articles based on many of SaidIts topical subs, among other things. SaidIt often seems chaotic, but we can mine it to present clear concepts in WikiSpooks. Also, I'm hoping that some bots can soon help deal with some of the posting so I can spend more time on the projects or in the comments.
