(5,764 posts)and none of them help you to rationalize your hatred of Julian Assange. They're mostly opinion pieces that are highly selective about presenting the facts, and tend to use belittling phraseology when referring to Assange, which makes me question their objectivity and their motives.
There doesn't seem to be much info available about Alexander Barankov. Clearly he isn't receiving the level of media attention that Assange is, though apparently, he is wanted by INTERPOL. The issue has not yet been resolved. It's difficult to draw any firm conclusions about it, but in my opinion, it's completely irrelevant anyway. The Wikileaks issue revolves around much larger and more important issues, like my government's obsession with secrecy and duplicity, and how it goes about violating international law when it murders journalists and supports the overthrow of democratically elected governments.
