Comment on Assange Hearing Day 3

Comments

I feel guilty for chuckling through an account of what is by any standard an absolute travesty of justice, but I have to say, the man can write:

Baraitser started to throw out jargon like a Dalek when it spins out of control.
He looked at her like a kindly uncle whose favourite niece has just started drinking tequila from the bottle at a family party.

Feels like a sequel to The Fifth Estate [1] or the books it is based on (Inside WikiLeaks: My Time with Julian Assange and the World's Most Dangerous Website, and WikiLeaks: Inside Julian Assanges War on Secrecy) is in order. Same, eventually, with Snowden.

Apparently this is his idea of writing in a way that's not "a caricature or unfair exaggeration on [his] part"...
