L'Affaire Assange

The Friends of Voltaire publicised the principle that “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it”.

Even though Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson strongly agreed with this principle it would seem that current American politicians seek only retribution on Assange.

A pity also to see that our very own Julia Gillard has cast an Australian citizen to the wolves.

It remains to be seen whether or not 'Girl With a Dragon Tattoo' is a true reflection of the Swedish legal system.

We live in interesting times!
