I was responding to the Amnesty blog post which wasn't about the rape allegations, but the ethics of Assange seeking help from Ecuador. So I'm not sure really sure how your point relates... [edit] wont let me respond to your comment below, so I'll just say that while I'm not sure how you measure 'what the world sees as a greater good', its a reasonable point and that the Amnesty blogpost would have made much more sense if it had used the argument that you do...

My point is that Mandela was fighting for what both he and the world saw as a greater good. Assange is fighting a personal criminal charge against himself. If you're going to pick up dubious allies, then you should do so in a cause which justifies it, where the trade offs are worth the costs.
