Re: Fair Trial
"Julian Assange: Either guilty of rape under strange circumstances or a trumped up charge to force him into US extradition, a short stop in a kangaroo court before being shipped to the latest version of Guantanamo Bay."
OK, you should keep the conspiracy theories to yourself. If Assange were sent to Sweden on the charges, then in order to be extradited to the US he would need to go through both the Swedish and UK judicial systems, and both would require consent for extradition. Without the rape charges, the US could put an extradition request in with the UK authorities. The rape charges make it harder for the US to get him. Now, they could be to discredit him, but that's a different claim.
Edit:
"Edward Snowdon: Either guilty of espionage or a whistle-blower following the letter of law concerning the Nuremberg Principle IV."
Ooh, that's a tough one to persuade me, and indeed anyone else, of. "Moral" is a difficult concept, and according to your strict reading, for example this would allow people who believe in Salafism to get away with murder, literally, because in their morality drunkenness should be punishable by death. Their moral code says that's the right choice. You probably want to explain how this is different to that, and you might well succeed, so I can come up with another one. This is why we use the word 'reasonable', and the question of whether what Snowden did is reasonable. It's a difficult question, but I think classifying not releasing all those files as a war crime would be a bold move.
