Assange was imprisoned because he was exposing the lies, deceptions and horrible actions the US empire was (is, of course, too) carrying out.

Is that so? Then why do other journalistic outlets routinely get damning leaks without having legal action brought against them? Why is Assange the only example of a journalist prosecuted by the US that ever gets brought up?
