Same can be said about a government talking sh** behind other people's backs. And I really don't see how Assange can be convicted for cybercrime either. If they have evidence that he's been hacking into security systems to get these files then that's a good reason but I wonder if they do. If there's no evidence for cybercrime then they can't really do anything. On top of that, Australia even admitted his leak didn't compromise their interests so they can't fault him for anything. Either way, Assange is practicing the very right the US claims to promote: free speech. Also, he's giving people the right of knowledge because as I said, people should be allowed to know the truth and he's giving it to them.
