said the Iraq war was illegal and immoral and he despised George W Bush and was prepared to sacrifice all his wealth if his [Bush's] bid for reelection in 2004 could be guaranteed a defeat. . After this research my initial 'bad vibes' about Julian Assange turned through 180 as I realise he has achieved an immeasurable victory against deception and censorship, be it corporate media, government agencies and even our despised secret services cover-ups most notably complicity in torture, humiliation and immorality. Huh? A desire for ministerial salaries and privileges is all it takes to acquiesce to the smashing of an accord that must inevitably bite you in the arse? How does that make any sense? Surely, in this case they could eat their cake and have it too? It would be the easiest thing in the world for the given ministers to stand up to the US, stick by the convention, and still retain their privileges? It's a thing they do daily, surely? . And all this over Assange? Clearly Assange has the approval of the bloc-media. We only know who he is because they want us to. The media airs his 'revelations' in precisely the same way that they utterly fail to air equally as spectacular revelations that have appeared on any number of other sites for years. To give Assange the same treatment that they gave Scott Ritter (say) would be as easy as blinking. A thing they do daily... . As for 'might', you're joking
