What a shallow piece. Subranya details only one of the 100s of thousands of leaks. The one most sure to tug at our hearts as it deals with wrongful killing of journalists. And then he leaves out details about the cases he references to support his belief that Assange should be pardoned. I need more details about Herridge’s case to have an option. Just telling me she was involved in a story about an FBI suspected Chinese American national doesn’t help me understand the comparison to Assange. And I’m absolutely not giving weight to CBS’s ( a leftist member of the MSM) opinion this. A reminder of the nature of the case against Snowden would also be helpful for comparison to Assange. And if building the case for Assange’s pardon, please remind me of the nature of his other leaks. This is an empty peace arguing for a strong free press but failing to explain what else Assange leaked and whether or not it could indeed have damaged national security. I don’t have any more thoughts on it now than before I read it. It except more from FP authors.
