I hope your not saying "it's good that he was detained without any thought about his civil liberties and denied his lawyer and had his equipment seized just because he is a security researcher and wants the public to know about the war crimes the leaked documents show that commanders in the US Army perpetrated during the last two wars."

Not the first time the legal system messes up. Here's my single most hated mistake: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennedy_v._Louisiana

Guess I should have specified: Good that his maltreatment is being brought to notice.



even though i do think the public doesnt need to know everything the government does

Another shitty situation. The guy is speeding down the road in his motorcycle (at one one point he goes over 130MPH) and gets pulled over by a plain cloths cop who starts waving his gun around. The guy was wearing a camera mounted on his helmet and ends up uploading the video to youtube. Then the police station arrest him for video taping the cop and call it "wiretapping". Now granted he was being reckless by driving a motorcycle at over 130MPH down a crowded highway, the problem is that they are trying to outlaw video taping of police (something that is already illegal in the UK).
