Assange calls it "scientific journalism". Under his list of professions, the word "editor" is listed. But it looks like hes a computer programmer first and foremost??

That was kinda the point. That and those you have faith in have no faith in your concerns.
Oh brother. The above will quickly devolve into an every-gripe-you-have-at-the-moment listing won't it? This thread is about Assange and I have made my comments about Assange; anything else you read into it is on you.

why would you go into a laundry list of non-governmental interference when the subject is about the gov't vs Assange FJ?
Not sure how you've missed this.
But I'll state it for the record again.
I have faith in God and certain principals of good govt.. That's it.
I agree with and support any politician (or person) when they support any aspect of freedom, the constitution and biblical principals... policy wise.
When they don't, i don't.
The closest I've come to being a political fan boy is with Ron Paul. And I even disagree strongly with a few of his positions.

If you think about it none of that really applies to Assange. He didn't write, he didn't edit, he didn't prepare, he didn't assemble, he didn't alter, adapt, or refine. He encouraged to steal and he posted. I did far more editing, preparing, assembling, alter, adapting, and refining in the making of this post than he ever did in posting stolen material.
I was a little surprised that my progressive, journalist friend was not steamed up about this. He acknowledged that theft of source material is not journalism.

Read the definition without your bias.
it says Edit = Publish.
definition (2).
just be honest man. sheesh.
but the thing is if you'd look a bit deeper than to criticize & assume you'd see that he did in fact do "Edit" definition (1) as well.NPR....
JULIAN ASSANGE, Founder, WikiLeaks: So my name is Julian Assange. I am the editor of WikiLeaks.
MARTIN SMITH: [voice-over] WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange unveiled the footage in a press conference in Washington.
JULIAN ASSANGE: The material is dramatic. It was classified— is still classified.
CREW MEMBER: They're taking him!...
MARTIN SMITH: In the end Assange edited the material into a short presentation with a provocative title, "Collateral Murder."
https://johnmenadue.com/three-extrao...ilger-assange/
In 2015 Assange edited “The WikiLeaks files: the World According to the US Empire.”...
....
But what makes Assange extraordinary is his work as editor in chief and publisher of WikiLeaks. Following are a few examples of information they have conveyed to the public:
Corruption by family and associates of Kenyan leader Daniel Arap Moi.
Corruption at Kaupthing Bank in the Iceland financial crisis.
Dumping of toxic chemicals in Ivory Coast.
Killing of Reuters journalists and Iraqi civilians by U.S. Apache attack helicopter in “Collateral Murder” video.
92,000 documents on the war in Afghanistan (and civilian casualties previously hidden).
400,000 documents on the war in Iraq (including reports showing the U.S. military ignoring torture by their Iraqi allies).
Corruption in Tunisia (helping spark the Arab Spring).
NSA spying on German leader Merkel, Brazilian leader Roussef, French presidents (Sarkozy, Hollande, Chirac) and more.
Secret agreements in the proposed Trans Pacific Partnership.
Emails and files from the U.S. Democratic National Committee.
CIA spying and other tools (“Vault 7”).
Julian Assange has received many honours, including: the Sam Adams Award, Time’s Person of the Year, Le Monde Person of the Year, Martha Gellhorn Prize for Journalism, Sydney Peace Foundation Gold Medal and the Serena Shim Award.

I already explained why you are wrong and you are a textbook example on the "why". No, you don't have the right to know. Classification is not based on whether or not you agree with it. It is based on criteria. The Nation is more important than the individual conspiracy theory snoop.
