I personally (also a decent person, rexw), do not sympathize for someone who fights on behalf of the militant wings of nasty theocratic powers on the basis of expanding their dominion, regardless of if they are caught by one of the countries he was fighting against and mistreated- and I definitely have no problem with my government deciding not to rescue him from them.
What makes me sad is that Julian Assange is, right now being put to similarly bogus charges and there is hardly a peep for him in articles at the moment- especially considering that HE, on the other hand is actually fighting these governments to uphold OUR civil rights- as opposed to the right of some religious extremist to subjugate a nearby village.
