I don't get how people have such a positive spin on Assange's release. If it's some sort of victory, it's only a personal one to him and his family, not to the rest of us.
The cost for his freedom was the Truth and a warning shot to any potential daring journalist.
I'm not faulting him for taking the deal, I would do the same, but let's not pretend this is a huge win.
