Interesting information. For summary's sake, looks like this post is talking about Baraitser's boss, Emma Arbuthnot, whose husband happens to be "a well-known "hawk" of the Conservative Party and former Minister of Defense, notoriously linked to the military-industrial complex" also connected to a US think tank. The article makes it clear that many of the conditions of Assange's trial (being kept in a box, unable to communicate etc) were initiated by Arbuthnot, and that Baraitser has simply followed the lead of her boss. Interesting read - no idea whether any of it is true... but certainly doesn't sound beyond the realm of possibility.
