Julian Assange is a political prisoner and he should be freed immediately

The Wikileaks revelations have exposed the crimes of empire while no one has been held accountable.

The subsequent saga that followed has also revealed that our supposedly democratic institutions have all been compromised including and not least the Judicial system.

Thanks. Passed it all onto a young relative who is considering a diplomatic future - understanding how the world works.

The video of Julian speaking on endless war was circulating widely. I also endlessly quote him on the Guardian, where he said that the outlet exists because there's a market of people who will pay money to read those kind of stories, and not necessarily because the owners have the values underpinning those stories.

Julian has said a lot of amazingly good, pertinent things. He should have his own book of quotes - a library of video snippets.

NB: The uncorrected audio (machine?) transcript wasn't that great.
