In reply to the discussion: Is this the photo that could clear Assange ? [View all]girl gone mad
(20,634 posts)She was sending text messages to a friend at the time stating that she was awake. She had already been up, gotten dressed and left the apartment to get breakfast. She claims that she returned and got back into bed, immediately went back to sleep and slept right through a 6'2" man getting into the bed and climbing around on top of her, only to awake suddenly with his penis inside of her. Looking at the available evidence, there is a lot of doubt in my mind about the story she is telling.
But, really, it's the larger picture which is so much more disturbing than any of this he said/she said debate. Whatever one thinks of Assange, there is no denying his talent for revealing to the world how truly pathetic our respective governments have become. He has illuminated governmental ineptitude, not just directly through his work with Wikileaks, but now indirectly as his bid for asylum has exposed just how many incredibly stupid people now occupy the highest positions of power around the world. These are the people making decisions on our behalf and they are absolute morons guided solely by self-interest, greed, irrational fear and hatred. We are all truly fucked.
