    He didn't deserve the terrible punishment he got. All those years running, hiding and locked. I know he didn't always act "correctly" while in my country's embassy. I dont blame him. The stress must have been unbearable. I hope he finds peace and happiness in his life and with his family. To me, he did a great service by exposing the truth. God bless him.

    Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

    American war criminals should've been in prison, not Julian Assange or Chelsea Manning.
