Whatever happened to Julian Assange?

jackiebaron · 2011-09-19 23:30:18

Just wondering. Not long ago he was up on rape charges and the US wanted him (or at least some of the more hysterical American politicians) wanted him dead (forget about due process). So why has the whole thing gone quiet? And why is there no clamour about "Axis of Evil" member, North Korea? And why is Venezuela one day…

Back on thread - Assange's book deal has gone very awry for him

Basically he has pulled out of the book deal, even though the thing has been ghost-written and now looks to be published. He is just in a very bad position having made enemies with most of the publishing papers (of the leaks) namely The New York Times and The Guardian. The whole situation really couldn't get any more ironic.

i disagree ... this seems like a cunning plan.

he has a book written, says he is "unhappy" about it and wants out, but yet he lets it get published without fighting it? seems like he wants plausible deniability on the contents.
