This is your best story yet imho, Indi. Now you are starting to say some of the most important things we should all be made aware of.
You stopped short of comparing the treatment of Assange to the treatment of Jesus Christ.
Personally I don't see much difference, as things stand, we are going to see the life of Assange with no less significance in history, actually probably more, since our view of religion has evolved somewhat, whether he lives or dies now doesn't matter to how his treatment already looks, though of course it would be cool to see him live the remainder of his life in freedom, the damage the empire has already done to itself, by its treatment of Assange, exposing itself and it's true nature, can't be overstated.
