    For his lopsided free speech, yes. For the rapey stuff? Not so much.

      He’s not in prison for being a sex pest. He’s in prison because he published evidence of US war crimes

        Also, the sex pest business is bad and should be condemned but would hardly give carte-blanche for extrajudicial torture.

        Correct. He should be in jail for his sex crimes.

          If he had been imprisoned for the crime he committed in the country he did it, he would have long since served his sentence.

          I wonder why he isn’t. It’s not like he can evade trial for it where he is now.
