I’m going to be the first to say that I’ve completely flipped on my views of him.
He has done this nation a real service by enlightening the people as to what our government is doing TO us.
I have to be brutally honest here, too. I didn't pay all that much attention to the whole WikiLeaks story until recent days (if you check my FR posting history you'll find nothing about this topic until very recently).
Initially my eyes kind of glazed over when I read about the massive volume of information that was leaked about Iraq/Afghanistan. I remember reading one report about more than 280,000+ pages of documents in their materials. There's no way I could even begin to comprehend what was being discussed with that quantity of information.
My radar really perked up the other day when I saw an article indicating that a trove of information about one or more major U.S. banks would be coming out soon -- and I've become downright suspicious of my own government when I've seen how much effort has gone into silencing this guy only after the threat of this additional information was released.
