From what I read I’m not chilled because I don’t trust the special rapporteur on basic facts. For example, he says, “ He will not receive a trial consistent with the rule of law. That’s another reason why his extradition shouldn’t be allowed. Assange will receive a trial-by-jury in Alexandria, Virginia – the notorious «Espionage Court» where the U.S. tries all national security cases. The choice of location is not by coincidence, because the jury members must be chosen in proportion to the local population, and 85 percent of Alexandria residents work in the national security community – at the CIA, the NSA, the Defense Department and the State Department.”
Do some people who live in Alexandria, Virginia work for the national security community? Clearly, but 85% is tin foil hat territory.
I’d like to understand more about the Assange situation, because this guy is not trustworthy.
- rendall 7y agoThis is a great point. I'm not sure why that slipped by me. That really is misstatement of fact, whether mistaken or intentional, and does cast some shade on every other assertion he makes.
