This article stacks the deck by only defending Assange and providing quotes from his friends and supporters while highlighting some of the worst outsider attacks on him. Although I agree with the author that Assange is being mistreated and is "becoming the apotheosis of political imprisonment", this article will do nothing to convince readers who haven't already sided with Assange.
