I have plenty of criticism of Assange. I mean, I had a very favourable view of him before the leaks, I feel the Collateral Murder video is very important, and I think it's important that governments can be held accountable for their crimes, so in those areas I'm on his side.
But I'm not so happy with his grand-standing, with the way he handled some of the data, with his attempts to work with Russia and Trump to influence US elections, or with how he handled those Swedish rape allegations.
There is plenty of criticism for everybody here. But the biggest issue is still the core issue: does the US have the right to commit war crimes, and does it have the right to persecute anyone who tries to publicise those crimes?
