Re:US has never asked WikiLeaks rival to remove leaked cable... by CogitoCogito on Saturday September 26, 2020 @06:42AM (#24597776)
> If Wikileaks was as altruistic about shedding light on the evils of the world, why haven’t they published anything about China, or about Russia? The most darkest of crony governments whose mobster antics and anti free policies keep an iron grip on their power and through silence, let their influence spread.

It's not illegal to tarnish and smear the diplomacy of the United States. If it's legal to release the documents, then there is certainly no requirement that documents must be release about other countries. So the only question is whether it is legal to release these specific documents. He could even be biased (which of course he is since everyone is), and that still wouldn't matter.

> If what he is doing is free and innocent, then defend your actions in court. I have no sympathy of someone who uses freedom as a shield to defend being a possible agent for other countries hostile to freedom.

He is defending himself in court right now...

Typically the American government uses legalistic methods to deal with leakers and "traitors". The Russians are well known for being far more likely to use less easily defeated methods like radioactive substances etc. The hazards are quite different between the powers.
