Publishing journalism in not a crime. Every journalist should be alert & alarmed - as the publisher #WikiLeaks ’ editor #Assange is now charged for working to publish military secrets of war crimes & civilian deaths. So will editors of ABC, Guardian, Age, SMH, NYT, etc now follow?

I find no satisfaction in saying ‘I told you so’ to those who for 9 years have scorned us for warning this moment would come. I care for journalism. If you share my feeling you take a stand NOW. Either you are a worthless coward or you defend Assange, WikiLeaks and Journalism.
