Post satire era, I tell thee...
Earlier this month, Mr Assange was given a new set of house rules by the London embassy that included paying for internet use and taking better care of his cat. He was also asked to keep the bathroom clean and pay for his own food and laundry.
Mr Assange had argued that the conditions violated his "fundamental rights and freedoms", and were intended to force him to leave. The judge said a requirement to pay for internet use and clean up after his cat did not violate his right to asylum.

Only the boardest most obvious sites would have included the line: "The judge said a requirement to pay for internet use and clean up after his cat did not violate his right to asylum."

I was discussing this case with my wife earlier; we agreed that - if you want Wikileaks to seem like crusading journalism rather than the fringe conspiracy site that powerful groups seek to paint it as - a good first step is not acting like cleaning out a cat's litter tray is the tip of a giant conspiracy.
