In
my article, Avoiding Assange, a month ago, right after the first
US indictment was issued, I addressed two diversionary arguments that I knew
would be used by those who want to hide their complicity with American
imperialism under leftish cover—that is, those who don't want to be seen as
endorsing the United States government’s prosecution of Assange for, and
intimidation of every journalist in the world from, reporting the embarrassing
truth about American war crimes, but who also don't really want to stand in the
way of Assange’s extradition to the United States.
