No George, people are brimming with legitimate cynicism about a politician who held his tongue on this issue for 8 years while Assange was being tortured and suddenly discovered, at five minutes to midnight, that he cares about what happens to him. And even now, has he denounced the torture he has endured in Belmarsh and called for his immediate release and treatment in a hospital or repeated the calls of the UN special rapporteur on torture? Has he denounced the legal abomination that is this drumhead kangaroo court? You mentioned the "courage" of his example, but I don't see it.
