Re: I was fine with the first indictment
Which on one level is perfectly true – he does not act as a conventional journalist in that he doesn't produce or edit stories.
Call me Mithter Thtupid but isn't what he did exactly what a journalist does? He received information from a confidential source and indexed it and redacted it onto WikiLeaks in order to make it available. Perhaps it is because he didn't put it behind a paywall or cover the data with adverts? And if he induced / helped others to break into systems then he is most certainly a journalist .. well, of the Murdoch calibre anyway..
