If Assange was found guilty of rape, would we really change our minds? Archived Message

as you suggest DJ. Because those who already say he is guilty, the "all men are rapists" mob, or all men are potential rapists - which may be true, just as it is true that all men, and even women are capable of torture... in extremis. Those people cannot then say that they should ignore the achievements of Assange on the basis that he is a rapist, just like all the people who he is accusing of crimes of the state, some of whom are self confessed proud torturers, and probably wife abusers and god knows what else. So why pick on Assange, other than for political reasons?
