Wiki leaks founder got arrested? is it right to arrest any journalist?

I don't understand this man's motivation. Does he really think he can help people by exposing confidential documents that if not revealed, would have continued peace? Why does he have to run if he thinks he has done right? Freedom of speech is necessary to protect the people, but does everyone need to know embarrassing secrets about the U.S. government, China, and Russia? I don't agree with what Mr. Wikileaks is doing, some people may argue that it is good and legal because of "free speech" but there should be a clear difference between "free speech" and being a jerk. The world is defiantly less safe with people like him running around. If this man got a hold of something very secret, for example, the codes for nukes, he could blackmail governments to do his bidding. I doubt that the charges for which he was arrested are true, but every country affected wants to get rid of this guy and put a stop to the damage his organization has caused.

I am glad he got arrested. As long as you are distrubing the balance of the world peace, I guess you are going to land in jail...the most effective and logical place for you! Yes, as a journalist, we got to say the truth but not until it is affecting the peace!

they have power, so they can do that, even we know that is against the human rights. we know that is not right. but they will do anything to make their power stood still.

No it isn't right to arrest him.He leaked information which is likely to cause strain in relations between countries.But one ought to have punished the person who gave access to such information rather than punish the person who has published them.It isn't right to punish a journalist or stifle the voice of people.
