Late last night (Wednesday) I encountered the whole interview on TV (Freeview BBC News) - yes, it was actually a full TV interview for BBC, in the country house to which Assange is confined every night, with a roaring log fire (that must have been the source of the pops). Humph was so, so immersed in what Julian rightly described as tittle-tattle rather than practising responsible journalism - a very sad decline. Assange was very level-headed, clearly understanding that what Wikileaks does is disruptive while believing that they are right to do that.dreamingspirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00324207120279777521noreply@blogger.com
