U.S. charges Julian Assange under Espionage Act

What he’s charged with matters. One of the charges is publishing classified material. If the courts agree, it marks an alarming escalation on the suppression of the free press. The hacking charges are a less direct attack on the First Amendment, but are a dark sign in their own right.

I loathe the little shitweasel and hope he winds up in a Swedish court, but opposing the DOJ’s charges is not about him.
