WikiLeaks Published Rape Victims' Names, Credit Cards, Medical Data (arstechnica.com)
Joe Mullin, writing for ArsTechnica: Even as WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange sits trapped in the Ecuadorean embassy, the WikiLeaks website continues to publish the secrets of various governments worldwide. But that's not all it's publishing. A report today by the Associated Press highlights citizens who had "sensitive family, financial or identity records" published by the site. "They published everything: my phone, address, name, details," said one Saudi man whose paternity dispute was revealed in documents published by the site. "If the family of my wife saw this... Publishing personal stuff like that could destroy people." One document dump, from Saudi diplomatic cables, held at least 124 medical files. The files named sick children, refugees, and patients with psychiatric conditions. In one case, the cables included the name of a Saudi who was arrested for being gay. In Saudi Arabia, homosexuality is punishable by death. In two other cases, WikiLeaks published the names of teenage rape victims. "This has nothing to do with politics or corruption," said Dr. Nayef al-Fayez, who had a patient with brain cancer whose personal details were published.
These are hordes of Documents the governments of the world COLLECT ON US!
This is simply the ONLY way to show what they are doing. There isn't enough TIME left to stop these over-reaching tyrannical actions, unless you put the info out there. It would have taken DECADES to read every word of what they have already released.
Making those releases pointless, as we would all have been violated by that time.
These mass collections of private data are ILLEGAL... Always have been.
Anyone participating in them, does so KNOWINGLY violating the 4th and 5th amendments, among others...
Wikileaks and Snowden, DID WHATS RIGHT... As it seems the US Government is no longer capable of understanding what RIGHT is...
Roman Polanski is free to return to the US at any time. And I think he should, he deserves to answer for the crimes since even famous auteurs aren't allowed to be pedophiles. Similarly, Assange should face the music as well. Hiding away from the law has never inspired the masses to one's cause. If he has to spend some jail time then so be it, he'll eventually get out. There's no chance whatsoever he'll be executed, though that's his paranoid belief.
Get your facts straight.

Stockholm District Court approves a request to detain Mr Assange for questioning on suspicion of rape, sexual molestation and unlawful coercion. Ms Nye says he has not been available for questioning.
13 August 2015
Swedish prosecutors drop their investigation into one accusation of sexual molestation and one of unlawful coercion against Mr Assange because they have run out of time to question him. The more serious allegation of rape is not due to expire until 2020.

He's hiding from Swedish justice and has fought extradition, that's why he hasn't been "charged". He's another Roman Polanski, without the excuse of having his pregnant wife stabbed to death by homeless cult members.
The guy is a rapist and a coward.
lucm, indeed.
