"...the Australian-born journalist published, but did not steal, the classified material in question."
Neither did he attain to or publish that information in the US. He has spent 12 years in confinement, faced down bogus sexual assault charges from Sweden, criminal expulsion from Ecuador, and torture for the last 5 years in the UK, while he might have lost even more years off his life from the trauma of the tortures and hardships he has endured. It is difficult to blame him and his attorneys for trying to end the unending criminal assault from the USA and Western 'lands of the free' by pleading out to charges of which he is clearly not guilty.
IMHO he has done every human being on Earth a huge solid, clearly at great cost - and risk of worse - to himself, by revealing the crimes against humanity that no one else anywhere, East or West, had the courage to disclose and give us an opportunity to take action to oppose those war crimes committed by the USA. The reek of the stench of torture, murder, and bald faced lies will never quit emanating from America, not just for the crimes he revealed, but those Trump and Biden have committed by ordering their groveling toadies to torture a hero for speaking the truth. Neither do those craven lackeys escape their own foul reek of death for their acts, not Sweden, the UK, nor Ecuador will ever be free of the taint of their bedfellow. All of them will waft that odor of the anal glands of the skunk that has coated their hollow claims of being lawful nations as a result of their perversion of justice due Assange.
There is an opportunity for those who have not acted yet to commend Assange for his courage and honorable disclosure, and we will see if the East might deliver some just encomium for his suffering, or if they too slink off the field of honor, unable to stand in the lambent glare of his righteousness. When we see $10's of billions flowing to thugs in the Ukraine and Palestine while stalwart men like Assange, who has faced alone juggernauts of imperial might armed with nothing but his words to defend innocent civilians, are left to live on charity, the blood should curdle in every vein in every man, woman, and child that breathes free air until that shameful lack is corrected.
Every father and every son, every mother and every daughter, owe Assange for their lives his reporting has revealed were endangered by the vile criminal scum that rule the God forsaken hellholes that have tormented him. A nation that creates a depository and defends such resources as his grateful beneficiaries might desire to send his way could preserve themselves from that taint his persecutors are covered with, and share in some of the delightful incense of truth, justice, and nobility that rises from him, their most obvious source and enduring haven.
