    In response to Poster123 (below) --
    "The "worm" comment foreshadows the astonishing “miserable little worm” comment from Foreign Office minister Alan Duncan, shortly before Assange was kidnapped from the Embassy; how is it possible that a minister of the government can make such a prejudicial comment about somebody facing pending legal prosecutions ?! Perhaps somebody can enlighten me, as I recall that many court cases have collapsed due to such public prejudicial statements, reporting, etc ?"


    Two items from Catherine Brown Mercouris address "trial by media". (She quotes a Guardian journalist describing Assange supporters as "c~nt soup babbling on about press freedom" - one I hadn't heard before)
