sorry libs

 

It should not be controversial to say that...

 

- Publishing unredacted intelligence that directly puts peoples' safety at risk; and

- Publishing materials stolen by a foreign government

 

...are not matters of journalism and free speech.

Agreed; nobody ever said that all classified material is protected and fit to print. It was even an open question whether publishing the Pentagon papers was legal. We didn't jump from "questionable legality" to "unfettered access." Assange shouldn't be prosecuted for things that should be protected for anyone but it's pretty demonstrable that he was a credibility launderer for foreign and international disinformation campaigns and not a journalist.
