    Guardian: If you care about press freedom, make some noise about Julian Assange Archived Message

    EH??!! I hear you gasp. But that indeed is the headline of an article by Trevor Timm.

    But this bit in the article itself will make you fall on the floor squirming in disbelief:

    The US government doesn’t allege Assange sold any secrets to foreign governments, only that he received classified documents from a source inside the US military, spoke with that source, held on to the documents and eventually published some of them.

    In other words, things national security reporters at the nation’s most mainstream outlets do every day.
