I, for one, am glad that the dirty laundry of the US army and government is out. These documents all show how dangerous and violent the US really is, even to their own allies, and leaks from other sources have done nothing but confirm that.
How can you expect Assange to leak documents from China and Russia? Just because he has someone on the inside in the US doesn't mean he's got dirt on every other country in the world. Whataboutism doesn't help anyone's case against Assange.
This entire extradition theater is little more than the US trying to cover up for getting caught. The fabrication of rape charges shows that there's no way he's going to get any fair trial. When he will eventually get to defend his actions in court, his fate is already sealed.
The damage wikileaks has done to the US is self-inflicted, really. It you don't want people to get mad at you for massacring an Afghan wedding, for spying on your allies and even on your own citizens, don't blame the whistle-blowers. Those things shouldn't have happened in the first place.
