Julian Assange Gets Bail, Elicits Stupid Commentary
Today a British judge granted bail to WikiLeaks editor Julian Assange in his sex-crimes extradition case; the bail conditions include wearing an electronic tag, observing a curfew, and reporting regularly to the cops.
Meanwhile, we have a new frontrunner in the ongoing Stupidest Comment Ever Made About WikiLeaks competition. It comes from the Australian MP Bronwyn Bishop, who on Sunday tweeted: "Mr Assange should be aggressively interrogated until he reveals the location of the stolen cables, so they can be retrieved." (Here's a lead for the interrogator: I hear he's stored them in a series of tubes.)
Update/Correction/Contrition: Joke's on me: That Twitter feed is a spoof. That puts me in the running for the Stupidest Comment competition, meta division. My apologies to the real Bronwyn Bishop, wherever Julian Assange has hidden her.
