I disagree with you i am affraid. You blame a guy for not showing in court to be judged. You do not take in consideretion when the accusations started. After he humilated the U.S with his realeses.It is more than obvious that some people do not want him free. I do not support rumours and stuff but i believe that this time is more than obvious. Bradley Manning is in jail without the freedom of supporting himself. Imagine Assange being in the same position. The face of Wikileaks would be lost and the whole idea after a period of time disappear because the majority of humans do that. They forget. He is trying not to loose his freedom of speech. Strugling to support his idea. You accuse him from the safety of your house or the safety of being behind the barrriers that the police put you " for the traffic" without complaining for lying to you. The same tactics will use to Assange lying to him for his safety of for his legal judgment. You cant trust the system, you know it from your own country. Stop trying to diferentiate yourself by judging from another perspective because people listen to what you say and maybe some of them are stupid enough to believe you. Nicholas M.
