[lbo-talk] Guardian stabs Assange in the back

[James Heartfield]

I must admit I had some doubts about the lionisation of Julian Assange in the pages of the Guardian newspaper over the last month's publication of his London Embassy leaks - but still it is shocking that they have stabbed him in the back by publishing the leaked allegations of rape against him. Talk about building someone up to knock him down. Don't these people have any sense of loyalty? He has been writing the larger part of their newspaper for the last five weeks.
