“People have said I am anti-war: for the record, I am not. Sometimes nations need to go to war, and there are just wars.”
“But there is nothing more wrong than a government lying to its people about those wars, then asking these same citizens to put their lives and their taxes on the line for those lies. If a war is justified, then tell the truth and the people will decide whether to support it. If you have read any of the Afghan or Iraq war logs, any of the US embassy cables or any of the stories about the things WikiLeaks has reported, consider how important it is for all media to be able to report these things freely.” Read Julian Assange’s whole letter on The Australian.
