Those 5 Newspapers published something which was already stolen and they carefully vetted any information which might be sensitive.

The investigation is still ongoing so let’s not draw any conclusions and say the newspapers did nothing wrong. The senators have been questioned about whether the newspapers are equally responsible and they haven’t given a straight answer yet. We’ll wait and see how this unfolds.

As for Julian Assange, he is just a messenger, so I disagree with his house arrest charges.

Then we’re on the same page.

@mercenary2k

But I fail to see what this has to do with the Muhammed Film.

If you are trying to create an equivalency that the makers of the Muhammed Film are free and Bradley Manning and Julian Assange are under prison, then you are drawing a false equivalence.

No I’m not and neither was the OP. She didn’t even mention the film in her post.

@mercenary2k

The makers of the Muhammed Film didn’t steal anything, they created a hate film and put it on the Internet. US has no power to prosecute them because no crime has been committed.

And I haven’t refuted this anywhere, have I? My position on this whole film fiasco is quite clear by my post in an AV thread. It’s been blown out of proportion and I’m certainly not looking to get anyone jailed.
