Assange: VISA is a national security problem

Since the beginning the US Government has tried to discredit Wikileaks so people don't believe what they are saying or releasing. I suppose they succeeded, because now Wikileaks now lacks the funds because of that campaign against Assange and Wikileaks. The questions is will there be someone else stepping up to this role now?

Also is there any hope that US will once again return to the "innocent until proven guilty" mentality? Because all I see now is more and more bypassing of the judicial process and declaring everyone a terrorist until proven innocent. That's if they don't assassinate them first.

Something terribly wrong is happening in this country and not enough people are speaking up.
