Your take: Julian Assange and Wikileaks
As journalists dig through some 250,000 documents released by Wikileaks for the details, big-picture questions abound. We’ve been asking listeners: Is the Wikileaks documents’ release anti-American? You had a lot to say on the subject.
Bobby Free from Spartanburg, S.C. had this to say:
I’m a retired enlisted military man. I do think the Wikitapes are treason. I don’t think they can be tried as treason being, as this person being a foreign born national but active duty military, US military person that leaked these documents should be hung. To let them know we’re not playing around. Let the world know we’re not playing around, don’t leak any more.
