"The problem,” says Julian Assange, is that "a lot of groups that would normally criticize Google, the nonprofits that are involved in the tech sector, are funded directly or indirectly by Google. Or by USAID. Or by Freedom House. Google and its extended network have significant patronage in the very groups that would normally be criticizing it.”

Assange is speaking to me over the telephone from his exile in the Ecuadorian embassy in London. I'm 3,700 miles away in the eastern United States. The connection is awful, which makes our conversation stilted and weird. It also lends the whole affair a certain degree of intrigue. It feels like the secret police could bust in and confiscate our shortwave radios at any minute.

kind of funny how this board is filled with civil rights indignation of all kinds, but the atrocities being committed right in your backyard are of little concern?

I'm sure Julian Assange enjoys prison life in the embassy. Sooner or later that rat will have to come out of his hole to look for cheese. Thats when we get him.
Sooner or later he will need hospitalization. They should contaminate that pathetic embassy with ebola. Just watch how fast that rat scampers out.
