The good news about Assange

[nancylebov]

If the prosecution against him is politically motivated (I think that's the way to bet-- I also think that what he's accused of is really rape, but I don't know whether he's guilty), then we've got a chance of getting it verified.

I don't think an international hunt for someone who was accused of being a serial killer would be put together as quickly as what we've seen against Assange.

There's a third possibility: ambitious prosecutor and lawyer.

The best account I've seen of the story is at

Finally some decent real journalism. Not snark, not silly. They interviewed associates of the parties, checked many sources.
