They're not freedom fighters, they're not good guys. I don't know if they've always been like this, but I'm leaning towards they just used Chelsea Manning as a pawn for political reasons, and she was the one that suffered years in prison for it, while they raked in donations. Simply put, **** Assange, and **** Wikileaks.
