The whole "control of Wikileaks' saga just gets stranger and stranger. This from a comment on Aagirfan's blog:
Quote:Blackwatch left us this comment:The man that Assange may be staying with over Xmas - Vaughn Lockhart Smith - has quite an illustrious right-wing history (even more so than Jemima Goldsmith).It seems that the Sussex address specified in the bail conditions is indeed that of one of the Lockhart clan. Our Julian is accumulating some very strange defenders.
His family go back to Count James Lockhart, whose daughter Maria married John Smith of Ellingham Hall.
Ellingham is where Assange will be staying.
James was also in the Grenadier Guards.
His father and grandfather also have reputable military histories - as befits anybody entering Mi6. (see Lt.Col. Henry Lockhart Smith - in Landed Gentry)
Interesting to see Litvineko and Boris Berezovsky as past members of Vaughn's Frontline Club.
Not a bad way of controlling conflict coverage, is it?
James Lockhart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Is he with or just watching Julian?
