I'm no fan of Joe Biden, but I think it should be possible to mention the U.S President without referring to him as being “near comatose”. Apart from being sick to the back teeth of hearing about Assange, that unnecessary piece of nastiness ensures that I won't be reading any further.

I can't help thinking that Assange & Co have created a trap out of their misguided ideology & now that they're falling into it they cry blue murder.

Assange is not above the law! Nobody is, even a President! Do the crime, do the time. with time off for good behaviour and official time served! If you or I did all that Assange did, we'd be cooling our heels in prison until the Herse took us away!

Perhaps he could plead insanity and be tested in a psych ward. Where he should remain with other criminally insane patients until cured, if that is actually possible.

A frontal labiomancy perhaps?
