If Assange is a spy, then so am I

  I don't agree.  I'm a journalist.  And what Julian Assange is doing is a form of journalism: he is publishing the news.

If you're like most people, you think that journalists are liars and lackeys, spouting "news" that is barely credible, bent by the profit of the big interests that run the media.  (That's what the Pew Center's surveys tell us.) This time, the political class is complaining because a website and its allies in the press are publishing information that is absolutely credible.   Has publishing the truth become a crime?
