The world averts its eyes as life is slowly being squeezed out of Julian Assange in broad daylight.
Our "free press" shower him with ridicule and contempt, at least when they're not ignoring him altogether.
That's the same "free press" that largely celebrated him as a "whistle-blower" nine years ago.
Times have changed. Today, "whistle-blowers" are CIA employees who are protected by the state.
That's pretty much 180 degrees removed from a time when whistle-blowers were exposing the malfeasance of the state.
We've come a long way in nine years.
