In defence of the article 

I find it fascinating that some people have criticised this article saying it should be deleted because it is unfair on Assange to have a whole article on allegations that may not even go to trial, while others say it is very biased in favour of Assange.  I understand the concerns of those who say having a whole article on this case is unfair on Assange because it draws to attention too much attention to the allegations considering there has not yet been a trial or even the decision that there will be one.  The best compromiseI can come up with is to simply report all the facts and all the allegations, but err on the side of caution, giving all the statements from Assange's defence, and all editors to assume innocence until proven guilty.
