Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange Has Been Freed from Prison

[@corintaylor-salter2059]

Campbell's argument about "putting lives at risk" is beyond contempt. Assange revealed their war crimes.

[@Slipstream_merchant]

Alastair Campbell should be in jail with Blair for Iraq & Afghanistan

[@sunseeker9581]

Afghanistan continued long after Blair. Then there was Syria and Libya and now support for Israel. You cant pick & choose your war crimes.

[@fatboy7276]

Jail in baghdad

You guys need to work before talking: in the Chelsea Manning trial the State Department could not prove that anybody was endangered. You can’t repeat blindly what powerful people say.

[@uchennanwafor9970]

They know the truth, just repeating the lies cos obviously they have chosen a side

[@JoBlack-dg6ey]

Manning & Assange will be viewed as heroes of the 21st century. Unlike those who persecuted them

[@Heather-zk5eu]

This is why these people have these jobs - ‘despicable’ is in the job description

[@Cjane231]

It's also noteworthy that Julian Assange did reach out to the State Department before releasing the documents to the public regarding redacting names/info and the State Department refused to work with him. IMO, the State Department is to blame if anyone were to be hurt. (Even though I know - No One was hurt).

[@captcomps]

Inviting Campbell on for this segment was about as arrogant and ignorant as it gets. It's about the same as inviting Paula Vennells on to a discussion about the Post Office scandal whilst not inviting Alan Bates. Craig Murray who campaigned tirelessly for Assange would have been appropriate. Campbell to this day remains unrepentant about the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan. To this day none of those military personnel that murdered the Reuters journalists and innocent Iraqi civilians have faced any sort of legal proceedings for their crimes.

[@helencarroll4658]

[@Onequietvoice]

About F-ing time. The US has never produced a single case of harm from Assange's actions. Compare the untold number of Afghans, specifically women, whose lives were destroyed by the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan. There are many journalists in the UK whose political associations are one sided.

[@JoBlack-dg6ey]

[@leynagh]

I strongly disagree .There are no "journalists" in the UK and certainly not on GMB . Assange has made history . He will still be famous and discussed long after Pierce & Co are gone and forgotten . . Campbell and his master will have their place in history too , but neither will be referred to in terms they would have hoped for.

[@worldview730]

@@leynagh Yes He did something very heroic, but he's not the only Journalist in history who put their life & career on the line. Example: what about all the Journalist in the war in Israel who lost their lives reporting through the free press. At least Assange is alive to be with his family.

[@kevinsyd2012]

But Assange is not a journalist, he's a hacker and was convicted in Australia as a hacker before Wikileaks. Why put him on the pedestal of journalism?

[@fburton8]

"He released those documents" He (Assange) was in the middle of redacting those documents to protect named parties when the Guardian released the password. Get your facts straight, GMB.

[@friendoftellus5741]

I am very happy today ! But i am at the same time very sad that the Uk allowed that 14 years of the life of an totally innocent man was stolen, just because he revealed the war crimes of the United States in Iraq ! It is a great shame that this man was imprisoned, and we should never forget that !

[@BANKO007]

Ask some proper questions. Why did the Guardian not fight tooth and nail to defend Assange? Why do we continue to uphold Labour's 2003 despicable extradition rubber-stamping arrangements with the US?

[@bfv8]

I do not totally agree with what he did, but what right does America have to prosecute a non American citizen for an alleged crime committed outside USA, to me it’s over reach. The Americans were just embarrassed they were caught out with their war crimes

[@tom5216]

Assange never should have been subjected to this. In the UK we are not protected by our government. The extradition of British citizens to the US should not be so easy to accomplish. The ‘Spacial Relationship’ is totally one sided. As George W Bush once said ‘it is not quid pro quo’. The chances of the US extraditing a US citizen to the UK is zero.

[@jujutrini8412]

That’s what it should be from here. It should be practically impossible to extradite our citizens except in the most extreme circumstances.

[@tom5216]

Agreed!

[@leahdionne5759]

Julian Assange has two distinct possible futures.. On one hand he can now peacefully retire, write several books, which I am sure would be picked up by major publishing houses. He can also travel and give lectures at forums and universities, also give interviews and participate in numerous podcasts, giving him a very, very healthy income for the rest of his life…OR… He could decide to hook up with his old WikiLeaks buddies and continue to find whistleblowers, informants and people that are ready to hand him classified documents to be released on his platform… What path do you think Julian Assange will choose?
