I think people who dismiss Assange or Snowden as "Russian Agent(s)" are bonkers and have been manipulated by the MSM. I can't believe that such critical information that should be released to the public as part of being a so called "democracy" is seen as making them foreign agents. Vulnerabilities in the software that hundreds of millions (if not billions) use every day must be exposed and patched ASAP. We can't let this Anti-Russia scare nonsense affect critically judging our government. When wrong doing is exposed, IT must be the center of attention, NOT who revealed it. Its about the movement, NOT the man. Scape goating and saying "it's all russia's fault" without proof is just going to alienate people and will be 100% counter productive. It goes way beyond the US Election. So remember, always think critically of those who are speaking in Canberra, Ottawa, Washinton DC, Wellington, West minister, Berlin or any government relevant to you. Don't take "it's russia's fault" with a grain of salt, especially nowadays when it is just being used as a distraction. Adrian Colomitchi:
Also remember that Assange seems to be a Russian agent. Oh, really?
So you say: * it doesn't matter we know how you can be spied on or that you can be "serendipitous" killed by a truck or that your "secure" apps that should guarantee your privacy are got around. And it still doesn't matter an organization that should look after the american public interest chooses to hoard zero-days instead of disclosing/plugging them (thus letting the public vulnerable against others). * but it does matter Assange is human (thus imperfect).
Quite a twisted logic IMHO, I hope you don't mind if I'm not accepting it.

This isn't really news. After Snowden's information this is something most people expected.
