This is not his personal affairs; this is a public speech he's giving about Wikileaks, and an alleged international conspiracy to destroy the organization. Maybe it's trumped up, I'm agnostic on that point. But it's highly contentious whether or not this is about Assange's personal affairs, or if his personal affairs are being used as a weapon against Wikileaks.
Well, yours is the first comment I've seen in this thread that actually discusses the speech or Wikileaks, rather than rehashing that tired old argument about whether the Swedish actually want to try Assange for rape or whether it's some kind of CIA conspiracy.
OK— last post on this. If you think it's a CIA conspiracy trying to undermine Wikileaks, this rape charge is part of that story. Obviously that's in question, which is why it's not possible to think of this as obviously inappropriate.
You can manufacture whatever loophole you want to get around the guidelines. The front page still gets full of crap that doesn't engage the intellectual curiosity.
