 committed this disgusting act. And it turns out he never did that, and it was all just used to get him into the clutches of U.S. authorities. And it is a defeat for the First Amendment.

It's just a win that Julian Assange doesn't have to spend the rest of his life in a hole in Belmarsh Prison and gets to see his family and hug them.
