[jct74]

Freedom Watch is in the news again! For Saturday's show (taped Wednesday), The Judge interviewed Julian Assange from Wikileaks. Assange reveals that Wikileaks actually went to the White House for assistance with reviewing the Afghan war documents so as to prevent information from being released that would harm innocent people, but received no response.

Here is a clip of Shep Smith interviewing The Judge about this (starts at about 3:40):

What an ingenious move. If they helped Wikileaks, they wouldn't be able to brand them as traitors as they assisted them and if they didn't, Wikileaks could (and now can, rightfully so) say that the White House can't complain about any safety problems when they refused to point those out. Of course, the third alternative is for the White House to just scream louder and hope that nobody noticed this move by Assange which would in any sane person eliminate all doubts about his good intentions, but hey, it might still fail to at least some degree if he brings more attention to this request.
