Julian Assange on "Real Time with Bill Maher". I can't stand Maher, but I appreciate him allowing Assange to speak. Here is part of what he said:
Maher asked Assange why, in the face of such overwhelming condemnation from even so-called liberals like Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-CA), we should be on Wikileaks’ side.
“Well, look, we’ve risen to a situation, or collapsed to a situation in the United States, now,” Assange answered, “where you can be killed by someone in the White House, from the president on down for some completely arbitrary reasons. You won’t know you’re on the ‘kill list’ until you’re dead.”
Lawyers, he said, are not allowed to represent people on the list, so if you have a suspicion that you’re on that list, you have no recourse.
“I can’t see a greater collapse than when the Executive can kill its own citizens,” said Assange,”arbitrarily, at will, in secret, without any of the decision making becoming public, without even the rules of procedure, without even the law behind it being public.”
That is why, he said, Wikileaks does what it does and will continue to do so.
Keep it up! And FREE BRADLEY MANNING!
