The moral equivalency of such statements is amusing to me. It also seems such attitudes are on the rise in the past decade. Regardless, Assange deserves no help until he does something to aid all the translators and interpreters whom his infodump revealed to their enemies.

Given how banal the US documents are, he really shouldn't have wasted his time and put all those people at risk.
