From the recent Wikileaks Q&A, re the comment from the political analyst -

They hung Clinton for such.
Shoe's on the other foot now.
Popcorn?
You really do take the biscuit with this. How can you possibly liken Assange to Clinton? In-fucking-credible, maladroit, contemptuous tosh.
But then you still buy that London Bridge story about Putin leaking the DNC email to Wikileaks, even though everyone and their dog now knows it was a Podesta/Clinton scam to hoodwink unwitting voters.
Never let it be said that you are not hidebound in your thinking, Cliff....
But, I suppose, if the cap fits, then at least you wear the "unwitting" hat proudly. A small triumph for you in an otherwise storm of naive cobblers you litter across this folder.

I likened the casting of accusations -- Clinton and Assange both stand accused, do they not? -- to point out how easy it is to make them.
Now the accusations are going the other way.
How am I wrong?
It's easy to insult people David -- making an actual argument is something else.
You did no such thing, Cliff. Today you're wriggling using the words "casting of accusations", yesterday you were pulling up a comfy chair and looking for popcorn and comparing like with like. But there is no likeness. None.
So, let's deal with facts: Assange is not a member of a leading American political family that has a long history of criminal activity in the US and is a leading faction in the war party. There's not a chance in hell she'll ever see the inside of a court house. It's all political rhetoric for public consumption.
Assange is an Australian journalist who's only "crime" was to make public facts that embarrassed the US war party and for that they have pressured governments to hold him incommunicado with a view to extraditing him and then having him extradited a second time to stand trial in the US for what exactly? You tell me what the charges are going to be please? Not a guess but the actual charges pending?
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
