You can't shoot the messenger, and that's what would happen to the man.

The following is to all who said Wikileaks is hurting the image of the US or giving our enemies cause to hate us more:

The reason Wikileaks exist is because of criminal acts inside the government that shouldn't be happening. If whistle blowers are afraid to come forward, we need a private and secure outlet for them. By prosecuting Assange and he only, you're telling whistle blowers to put their conscience in their pocket, to shut up, all because you're too worried about how enemies see the USA. To thine own self be true! If you feel that crimes need to be covered, and that's what your're demonstrating with your views, then it's you who doesn't have a conscience and it's your who helps feed the enemies of the US. What you think is loyalty to the government is disloyalty in disguise. You're subverting the Constitution and spitting on the graves of the Founding Fathers. The US government isn't the nation nor the people. We are the people and the government is but a small but very powerful part of the whole. If the law makers and other departments are breaking the law, we have a total breakdown of the system we trust in.
