“Assange is certainly right about Ron. The former Texas representative has always been a vocal opponent of his government’s liberty-killing actions, including the Patriot Act, the War on Drugs, drone strikes, foreign military bases, and many more. He even praised whistleblowers like Assange, saying they ‘expose the fallacies of why we go to war.’ But Rand doesn’t seem to have the sympathy his father has for whistleblowers. He recently said that Bradley Manning deserved to be tried because of the potential harm his leaks could cause for U.S. agents abroad (note that he used the word ‘potential’).”
