The government is not my brother and wikileaks is not a bank employee. Let's just stick to what we know and not try to create false analogies.

Nicely dismissed.

The point of that analogy is to point out that what matters is that your brother stole some money (allegedly), not that the bank employee dobbed him in. A crime was committed (allegedly).

Wikileaks are exposing crimes, and people are accusing them of having ulterior motives. Who gives a fuck about their motives if what they are exposing is actually true? Why is that the primary concern?

Wikileaks are exposing crimes, and people are accusing them of having ulterior motives. Who gives a fuck about their motives...

if what they are exposing is actually true?

Do you not see the link between these two questions?

If you say 'I don't care why they're putting out all this information that embarrasses gov'ts, I just accept their motives are pure and the information is accurate', then you're not thinking very hard.

And I'm not accusing you of that. But you're accusing me of being paranoid for questioning those same things. Ok then, I'm paranoid.

They may be. It's also possible Assange is actually a rapist hiding to save his own skin.

Yeah I mean out of all the possible outcomes, this is probably the least likely. As far as I can tell, the girl in question has never accused him of rape.
