It seems ole Julian's guarantors are trying to get their money back:

Ummmmmm, surely the point of paying surety is that you understand that if your trustworthy friend hops it, you lose the money....?

Yes, getting the money back is probably out of the question.

That is how it works here in the USA.

But you know he hates the USA, and everything we do is bad, so he surely thinks, "screw those American loving bastards"

Maybe China can take him in, I am sure they will love him. Until he leaks them for fame, and free money.

I have more respect for Lady Gaga, but see him as the same, a fame whore, except way less talent.

I do not think he especially hates the US, there is more leaked material than just of the US. What he obviously does not like are cover-ups and hidden crimes done by governments in the name of freedom and democracy, against international law and treaties. Is this so bad ?

And no one answered my question of what you think whether the journalists during the Watergate scandal back then should have been shot as traitors -from those posts here it seems most think that would have been the right thing ?

If i may ask politely, if maybe falling for Godwin's law:

Now that we know of what our governments did and still do, against international law and human rights, the question is:

To what extent are we responsible if we do not take any action against what is happening ?
No one can say we did not know it, this time.
