Julian has made another attempt (click title of this post), to plea his case --that he is only a messenger. He talks about how important it is to have a free press, how he's keeping governments clean by airing out all the dirty laundry, ect.
On one hand, I can understand where Julian is coming from but, what he published was still stolen property. Legally, he is not a U.S. citizen so, he cannot be tried for treason.
I understand where he's coming from, to a small degree but, if it's so important that we know everything, then why is he now using further information as a threat to the U.S. government and other governments? What he is saying is that it's only important to know this information, unless he can use it to blackmail governments.
Julian, you can't have it both ways here. Either you are a firm believer in your cause, or you're just another thug trying to stir up trouble and, so far it appears to be the latter.

Did you hear that Julian Assange also called for the resignation or impeachment of Barack Obama?
I didn't hear that one.
I did hear him call for Clinton to step down. Now that we can agree on.
