Let's assume that the general impugning of Assange's character over the past years is true. Let us further assume that the statement made by one of the comments below, that the completely unredacted nature of Wikileaks' releases is irresponsible and unnecessarily puts others in danger. Even with all that, the events described in this article make me deeply uncomfortable. I don't have to like Assange to think that this kind of thing sets a dangerous precedent. When criminal prosecution is a thing for "the little people" and a tool twisted to dispose of those inconvenient to those in power, that is the kind of injustice which fuels riots and revolutions. I really don't want it to have to come to violence to stop corruption; that will just as likely end badly for all involved.
