Showing Original Post only (View all)Assange and the art of 'now you see it now you don't'. [View all]
Not to make light of the issue of sexual assault, is is indeed a serious issue on a smaller scale, but whether the allegations against Assange are true or not, there can be little disagreement that they have effectively shifted attention from the war crimes he brought to light to a story of an alleged crime of a far less massive scale.
A case of sleight of hand? Some say yes and some say no.
Now watch this and remember what he brought to light.
