From the VFP Website: Drop the Charges and Free Journalist Julian Assange
Imprisoned journalist Julian Assange faces life behind bars for telling the truth about U.S. war crimes in Iraq, Afghanistan and at the U.S. torture base in Guantanamo Bay. Currently, Assange is being held in brutal isolation at Belmarsh prison in the United Kingdom on behalf of the United States.
As military veterans from WWII to the current era of conflicts, who have trained for, and in many cases, fought in U.S. wars–often in the name of democratic values such as freedom of the press, free speech, and free journalists–we demand that our own government respect those principles now.
