What is your opinion of Julian Asange?

Personally, I think that he is awesome. The government needs to be more open, especially rumors like Area 51 and the Illuminati running about (I do not entirely believe in both, even though the latter has some pretty shocking evidence.)

What is your opinion of him?

Some of the military things he put out US troops in danger which is bad.

He didn't, though. The government has investigates this claim and found that no harm came to anyone because of the leaks.

The only reasonable issue one might have against him are the rape charges which are laughable (http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010/dec/17/julian-assange-sweden) and the rumors that he's kind of an asshole. Neither of which should affect your views on what he's done for the world.

Agreed. I mean, Steve Jobs was an asshole, but people still paraded him like a hero because he made Apple. Now sure, he WAS a hero, But he only got that way from being a total douche. Sad, but true.
