One article that completely ignores that the DoJ offered Thordarson immunity for this false testimony and that the judge mentions the Icelandic stuff as part of the reason the extradition was valid. It is also used as further evidence of the only charge that isn't an Espionage Act charge, which is the reason people try to claim these charges aren't clear violations of a free press.
And here's the full quote that the article took one line from
>Stundin cannot find any evidence that Thordarson was ever instructed to make those requests by anyone inside WikiLeaks. Thordarson himself is not even claiming that, although he explains this as something Assange was aware of or that he had interpreted it so that this was expected of him. How this supposed non-verbal communication took place he cannot explain.
edit oh, and the Washington Post article is from July 8th. The original article claims the media ignored the report as of July 2nd.
