Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has been arrested, however it was not because of his immoral acts of leaking United States confidential government papers.

Assange founded the controversial website in 2006. It is claimed to have more than 1.2 million documents.

I think that open government would be beneficial, but what good does leaking information about unchangable events do?

He doesn’t have any place interfering with our government considering he is an Australian citizen. This also means he can not be tried for treason by the U.S. because he is not going against his own state.

I understand that people want to know what our government is doing, but there is no sense in releasing these documents just to upset people.

Also, Assange’s supporters are hacking websites who don’t support him. He is causing a lot of unnecessary corruption within a country he is not even a part of.

I don’t understand why anyone would support this guy. First of all he is currently facing sexual assault charges, which he turned himself in for. That automatically makes me disgusted by him.

What I think is even worse is that he is endangering the lives of people who are defending this country whom he is not even a citizen of.

Why is anyone supporting someone who is preventing our troops from doing their job?

Sure, he did reveal some shady things that the government has done, but why would we just lay down and let people push us around after what they did on Sept. 11, 2001.

Some things the government does may be better for us not to know because if we were qualified to make those kinds of decisions, we would be in DC right now.

I think that Assange is definitley not the master mind behind Wikileaks. He is known for his previous work as an internet activist and a hacker, but I don’t understand why we would have such important documents allowable to be hacked.

I think there is someone more powerful behind Wikileaks that is most likely working for our government, and if this person is ever caught, well it won’t be pretty for him.

I think Assange should let everyone know who his “sources” are because if he can reveal such important things about our country, then he should be able to say who the people were that gave him the information.

I feel that the government should take some responsibility because if there isn’t someone in the government attaining these documents, then they need to get better security.
