Looks like Davis was leaned on not to be too mean on Guardian journalists. I wonder if the "leaning" was the threat of a lawsuit. Where the hell was Davies for the last seven years? According to Davis, he's been the one who lied most frequently about Assange's "cavalier attitude" wrt peoples lives that might be jeopardized by the wikileaks material. In other words he has been a key part of the Fraudian's smear campaign. And I don't understand why Davis said he hadn't shared these revelations before, because doing so "wasn't particularly relevant, Julian being in custody on sexual assault charges" as opposed to now when he's "in custody on the espionage material relating to the documents that these guys were working on together.." What a crock of shit. He was always in custody for publishing this and other material exposing US crimes, as the refusal of Sweden to guarantee that he would not face forward extradition - along with many other facts - made clear to anyone with two brain cells to rub together. And there were no "charges". And it was always highly relevant for him to get some mainstream support throughout the seven years when he was being smeared and defamed and the ground was being laid for his eventual abduction, imprisonment, and continued torture. I'm glad Davis is finally speaking out about this, but his reasons for not speaking out sooner strike me as lame and dishonest and a little too smug. Also I didn't like the fact that he called Assange "incredibly unreliable" early on in his presentation. So overall, glad he's saying this, but not overly impressed with him.
