“I have to tell you, in my opinion, Julian Assange is a hero,” the Fox News senior judicial analyst told Fox News’ “Fox and Friends” Thursday. “What he published was truthful information that the American public and the world had the right to see. He is a publisher just like we are.”

Show co-host Brian Kilmeade responded that Assange “exposed State Department secrets the world had no business seeing,” as WikiLeaks exposed private messages, which could cause hinder the parties’ communications.

“I agree that will diminish the private communications,” said Napolitano. “[But] just as if we working for Fox News received secret information, my God. the public has to know. The person who gave it to us commits the crime; the publisher does not commit the crime.”
