Sad business about Julian Assange, boy from Townsville, unsupported to the Nth degree by his own country's government...taken away simply for showing what the US did in Iraq to innocent people. I'm very disappointed in the Australian Governments. Reminiscent of the Al Jazeera journalist who went with the US troops into an Iraqi mosque as they 'cleared' it with automatic weapons...killed everyone seeking shelter in there. Very clear video photography...American soldier says...hey, this one's not dead...shivering heap of a man on the ground....then 'bang'...yes he is... next day, following the world news report, the Al Jazeera newsroom in Iraq was bombed by the US. Journalism, reporting what actually happens, is a dangerous business indeed.
