Assange seems very interested in martyrdom (or patriotic depending on your use of the word). Is this another trap to expose a "free speech deficit"? I hope he's calculated what he's doing correctly... He may be one of the most important figures in coincidentally pushing libertarian ideals into government. Though... Any nation not hopeless would've impeached Clinton by now, so.... maybe not. :/
If nothing else, this is an interesting story -- we the living are likely going to be some of the only people to ever hear of this.
Someone have Assange's reasoning in turning himself in?
