Should We Disclose the Home Address of WikiLeak’s Julian Assange?
Julian Assange, editor of the WikiLeaks site that disclosed classified military documents and the names of Afghans who assisted American forces, arrogantly says he enjoys “crushing bastards.”
The 92,000 documents released by Assange and WikiLeaks included such things as military communication protocols, tactics and juicy tips for intelligence operatives in such places as China, Iran and Russia. More horrifically, however, the disclosures identify the names, families, locations and forms of assistance provided by Afghans still vulnerable to vicious Taliban retribution. Anyone who read or saw The Kite Runner knows exactly the sort of brutality imposed by that murderous band.
Here’s an idea. Perhaps some enterprising citizen, or perhaps the family of someone Assange has jeopardized through his own little “bastard” jihad, would like to publicize his home address, phone number or other confidential information. After all, complete and open disclosure is a good thing, right Mr. Assange?
