Ok, as much as I hate having to search wikileaks for my own name in some embarrassing document (don’t ask in public…,) you have a few problems:

1. the first amendment. he is a journalist sooooo…patriotism and all
2. scratch the patriotism, he’s a fucking AUSSIE! even if there was a constitutional law against things like wikileaks…it would be about as useful as a screen door on a fucking submarine. You can’t apply American law to people unless they are…wait for it…AMERICAN. or at least in the goddamn country.
3. how has the whole wikileaks fiasco effected your life? Is the only reason you care a talking head on FoxNews?
4.

You do realize, don’t you, that real life bears no resemblance to the universe of _24?_
