Assange is a scumbag. No two ways around it. He's also an Australian which kinda makes the authors ranting about the 1st Amendments protection for a US Citizens freedom of speech silly.

However, shining light on roaches is a good thing no matter where they are hiding. Maybe especially if they are in our very own Government.

The Brits have arrested Julian Assange and he is being held without bail until Sweden can extradite him.

What is really bizarre — Julian Assange is being charged by the Swedes for “condom misuse” (whatever that is).

[It was my understanding that every sexual perversion was OK in Sweden. If this is “condom misuse”, Mr. Assange must’ve flunked putting the condom on the cucumber in sex ed class. It appears he continued to fail because his Swedish partner did not bring a cucumber to put the condom on.]

I never said he wasn’t; I honestly don’t know anything about the man so I couldn’t say one way or the other.

Indeed; but my comment was more on the idea that reporters are supposed to just convey the facts and not ‘editorialize’ ... which is exactly why this author is saying that 1st Amendment protections don’t apply in his case.

Agreed.
