We know that the motive for the alleged disclosure was that of informing own-side publics in the USA and acolyte nations the war crimes the USA is still perpetrating. Reporting up the chain of command is not an option, as many women soldier rape victims have proven. Few in the chain of command value their conscience over their career.

Aiding the enemy is just a way of ramping up the severity of the sentence and trying to entrap Julian Assange. But ‘aiding the enemy’ makes every one of us who say that the wars of aggression are wrong and must end an ‘enemy’ of the US military/intelligence/lethal industries/bribery and corruption/mass-murder complex.

Such a ludicrous charge should be thrown out by any serious unbiased judge. Yes, we know, all too sadly, they are a rare breed in the US legal system.
