But here is the truth:
In July 2010, when WikiLeaks began revealing secret documents about the war in Afghanistan...1/
the Pentagon immediately accused Assange + Wikileaks of having blood on their hands, because their publication would put Afghan translators and informants at risk, those who collaborated with American and Western coalition troops... 2/
Pentagon + CIA created large task forces of intelligence analysts to sift through every single name that came out of those documents to try to find out if any of them had been killed, injured or imprisoned b/c of Wikileaks publication.... 3/

If they succeed, wee all stand to lose. We will be imprisoned as well.
There has never been a better moment: to speak up, speak out, and fight against this injustice.
Not just for the sake of an innocent publisher, but for the sake of our very freedom and future.

There is also a very personal, human story inside this highest-stakes political conflict. If you read one thing about Assange, this honest article from the Guardian should be it: theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2… #FreeAssange /end
