Prison is prison whether it's a jail cell or a $10 million mansion. Either a person is free, or they are not.

If you're going to be under house arrest, might as well do it in style.

That I agree with. My original point however was that just because it was lavish, doesn't make it any less of a prison.

Yeah, Assange still in solitary confinement for at least another 48HRS, due to America's current favorite puppet, Sweden.
This is a farce of epic proportions. It would be funny if it weren't so ominous in terms of its Orwellian implications regarding the war the global states are declaring on their citizens. The right of the citizen to access the information required to hold their governments to account is being very tangibly threatened to say the least. We witness first hand how the Statists and Globalists control any threats to their charades.
The ideal of "democracy" that we profess to defend at a high cost in lives in Afghanistan and Iraq rests firmly on the principles of transparency and openness in government, not to mention individual civil liberties, both of which are being tossed aside in favor of self-protection and secrecy on the part of our "SO-CALLED" elected representatives.
Perhaps the veils that maintain the illusion of western democracy are finally falling. It's becoming increasingly clear that the powers that be(TPTB) no longer even care to make a pretense of defending them. The war on information, and on all those that defend our access to it, has officially been declared.

Well, if WikiLeake had been posting Russian, Chinese or Iranian diplomatic tabloid trash-talk, Washington DC and the NEOCONS would be laughing till their sides split.
It's all about who's ox is being gored and well positioned propaganda machine... as usual.
