If we took a poll sure we would all have different opinions, but I did not express an opinion on his guilt or innocence regarding the rape and sexual assault charges.

I stated the facts that:

* he had been charged
* he was granted bail
* he skipped bail
* the Swedish court decided after many unsuccessful years of pursuing him that the court case would not proceed
* evidence for the Prosecution and the Defence would therefore not be presented
* he therefore would keep the tag of "presumed innocent" only because the trial did not proceed

If I were to express an opinion about his Wikileaks activities it would be this:

I personally am of the opinion that those activities were not altruistic but that his prime motivations were to benefit himself, possibly mainly to attain fame and/or fortune.

I will also offer my opinion that the lawyer who has now borne his children will possibly not still be in a relationship with him in the foreseeable future because she has now served his purposes.

When he was holed up in the Ecuadorian embassy I was reminded of one of the later episodes of the Brit TV show called Spooks (aka MI5) where a man had chosen to take refuge in an embassy but the clever spooks managed to get him out. It was just a matter of time for Assange to wear out his welcome at the Ecuadorian embassy.
