He exposed state secrets on important matters of war and peace. How dare he! Now he will pay for it by spending the rest of his life behind bars.
Assange is a sacrificial lamb. His brutal treatment over the last decade has had a chilling effect upon investigative journalism. Few journalists now are willing to put their heads above the parapet to be shot at. The result is that we are feed a diet of lies by self-interested governments. What passes for news information today is nothing more than propaganda.
The fate of Mr Assange is a crime against humanity to the extent it seeks to keep us ignorant of the facts. It reminds me of the old saying: Truth is the first causality of war.

I think he'll be transferred to an Australian prison in pretty short order.
