Main points of the interview:
- Journalists are against Assange and Wikileaks are blind to the fact that they are next for censorship.
- The government has the system to act first, but the resistance against the government's actions is slowly building. Mass media, and even politicians, are realizing the threat to the First Amendment.
- In response to being called a "political terrorist," Assange make it clear who the real terrorist is by using the definition of terrorism, which is "a group that uses violence, or the threat of violence, for political ends."
- Political leaders calling for Assange's assassination are committing incitement for murder, but go unprosecuted because their opinions are popular within the US government.
- Assange questions whether or not the United States still obeys the rule of law, as the current situation would show otherwise.
- Bradley Manning is a political prisoner of the US government. He is being held in solitary confinement, without ever having being charged for a crime, and without due process of the court of law. Those who have isolated Manning are taking advantage of his weakening psychological state to brainwash him into testifying that Wikileaks coerced him to leak the documents.
Also, it's funny to watch mass media news anchors. They're such idiots. The anchor asks him how he would respond to threats from political leaders, and then essentially re-asks him the same question. Julian Assange is intelligent, and very well-spoken. Let's hope he isn't "illegally murdered."
