'War on whistleblowers must end!' - Assange speech at Ecuador Embassy

Julian Assange makes his first public appearance in two months, ever since he took refuge in the Ecuadorian embassy in London. The WikiLeaks founder was granted political asylum on Thursday -- a decision that ignited a wave of international responses, with the UK and Sweden opposing the verdict and Latin American countries strongly supporting Ecuador's move.

(cont'd)... I could keep going if you'd like. In 2006, according to Wikileaks, Sweden *had their special forces steal a CIA jet* to stop the US's rendition program from running through their territory. Sweden has the #1 rank in the world for fundamental rights by the peer-reviewed World Justice Project. And on and on and on.

And yes, many whistleblowers do go to jail when caught. Meanwhile, Assange sells the information they give him to newspapers, profitting off of their suffering.
