Julian Assange habla desde la embajada de Ecuador en Londres

When government lie to its people about war

Julian Assange on Don't shoot messenger for revealing uncomfortable truths: "People have said I am anti-war: for the record, I am not. Sometimes nations need to go to war, and there are just wars. But there is nothing more wrong than a government lying to its people about those wars, then asking these same citizens to put their lives and their taxes on the line for those lies. If a war is justified, then tell the truth and the people will decide whether to support it."
