(34,845 posts)You ignore the fact that Assange admitted to the accusations.
You ignore the fact that he was free in the U.K. for two years before hiding in Ecuador.
You ignore the fact that he let Chelsea Manning go to jail instead of helping her.
You ignore the fact that he tried to foist an edited video on the public.
You ignore the fact that even his native country, Australia, doesn't come to his aid.
Your slavish hero worship is sad to see. And in the end, nothing will change. Assange will still be hiding out in Ecuador and we will be having this same conversation next year and the year after that and the year after that.
