No patriotic American should be celebrating the career of Julian Assange. His dissemination of others’ secrets has nothing to do with democracy and transparency, and everything to do with the sordid underworld of international espionage. WikiLeaks is a functional subsidiary of Vladimir Putin’s intelligence services and Assange—hiding in a London embassy rather than face charges as a sexual predator—is on the end of a long but firm Russian string.
The connections between WikiLeaks and the Russians are obvious, except to the people who prefer not to see them. This is not a liberal or conservative matter; opportunists of every stripe look away from the mysteries of how Assange and WikiLeaks manage to survive, physically and financially, rather than to admit that a crusade for “transparency” and “freedom” is little more than a Russian operation directed at the West’s most gullible citizens.
