Most politicians who have dealt with the usa internationally will have their dirty laundry aired.

There seems to be some pretty massive stories coming out in the news, for many countries on an hourly basis. I only see this snowballing, and the effects will be seen shortly and into the far future.

This is a massive attack on the whole political class. Not just a scandal in one country, but in most - at the same time.

Very interesting times indeed.

We should perhaps not be surprised, but we must never forget to be outraged; otherwise, these kinds of actions will end up being acceptable as we are "desensitized" to them.

My guess is that we'll eventually see what's in that encrypted "INSURANCE" file when Assange is taken away. Could be fun.
