| #7 The scene of the death of Rinders, the indian agent, is one of the highlights of the film. 2LT Pennell at that moment choses the Army over a life of privilege back east. John Ford knew how to make a movie! |

| #6 Mr. Assange lives in a fish bowl. The tribal/blood relatives of the 'collateral damage' will eventually do the deed. It will be some nasty business. Reminds me of a scene from 'She Wore a Yellow Ribbon' where the cavalry troopers watch as the native torture and kill a group of gunrunners. [watching from a distance as Apaches torture gunrunners who cheated them] Captain Nathan Brittles: [to Sgt. Tyree] Join me in a chaw of tobacco? Sgt. Tyree: No, sir. I don't chaw and I don't play cards. Captain Nathan Brittles: Chawing tobacco is a nasty habit. Been known to turn a man's stomach. 2nd Lt. Ross Penell: I'll take a chaw if you please, sir. |

| #3 There is always the possibility that Assange is actually a deep cover. Never assume anything when it comes to intelligence operations. In this case, by releasing a little controversial information, the focus might be changed away from much more valuable, and controversial, topics. For instance, since the start of the WoT, SOCOM has expanded in size by three times or more, conducting a shadow war in parallel with conventional military ops. Yet it never makes the papers. They prefer it that way. |

| #2 Even if the CIA wanted to take him out, they couldn’t without massive controversy. Live dangerously, I say. Take the f*cker out. |

| #1 For anon1, the key paragraph in the story should be Even Assange agrees. He told the New Yorker earlier this year that he fully understands innocent people might die as a result of the “collateral damage” of his work and that WikiLeaks may have “blood on our hands.” |
