Ron Paul Defends WikiLeaks Founder's Rights
Republican Rep. Ron Paul of Texas is standing up for the founder of WikiLeaks, going against many of his Republican colleagues by defending Assange's leaks of secret American documents.
In a Thursday interview with Fox Business, Paul said that Julian Assange should get the same kind of protections as the mainstream media when it comes to releasing information.
"In a free society we're supposed to know the truth," Paul said. "In a society where truth becomes treason, then we're in big trouble. And now, people who are revealing the truth are getting into trouble for it."

Totally wrong. In a free society, we're supposed to understand that we must give up certain liberties to defend our freedom.
Here's some background from the same article:
Quote:
Paul is no stranger to unpopular stances, and has split with his parties on issues like the war in Afghanistan (mooselimb-enabler!), the role of the Federal Reserve and America's membership in NATO (Commie-enabler!). His son Rand Paul, a Republican Tea Party favorite, was elected to the Senate from Kentucky last month.
