Julian Assange: peering through the murk
Serving time in an Australian prison for violations of the US Espionage Act committed while in various European countries is a bizarre situation.<p>And I can&#x27;t help but notice that their assurance of treatment does not rule out any other maximum security prisons nor any alternative restrictions on correspondence.<p>Still, these assurances suggest that the US&#x27;s goal is more likely precedent than revenge. While it make it less likely Assange will be killed, its still a major attack against the freedom of the press.
