Aug 2012

with Interpol and Stephen King and Joe Lieberman and the whole USA Resources after me.

I couldn't come to any other conclusion and I'd be happy to have a One Room in the Equadorian Embassy and have to wash in the "Visitor Washroom" because it would either that or being in Bradley Manning's situation or worse.

That's all I have to say reading everything from all angles about Assange's reasoning. And, knowing what we did in Gitmo and are still doing in reditions and drone attacks with our power across the Globe.
