Alan Dershowitz has:

- advocated torture of suspected "terrorists" using the utilitarian and phony "ticking bomb" scenario as justification in a piece entitled "Want to Torture? Get a Warrant";

- blamed Lebanon for the death of civilians in IDF actions;

- claimed of an academic expose of the Israeli lobby that "every paragraph virtually is copied from a neo-Nazi Web site, from a radical Islamic Web site, from David Duke's Web site";

- called for the destruction of Palestinian villages in response to perceived "acts of terrorism".

If Assange is complicit in the decision to add Dershowitz to his legal team, then I'm pretty much done with him.

Assange is either a naif, a fool, a self-interested materialist or an intel asset.
