Its interesting because I didn't think it would be possible to have him
around the space. He'd be arrested upon entering the country? no?  When
this question was posed I imagined a video-conference style presentation
projected onto the screen in the same vein as some of his appearances at
previous conferences. How many others also had this same mental image?

Also there is some dialog out in the ether involving the idea that the
allegations against Assange are part of a propaganda campaign against him
and Wikileaks. I don't know if this is true or false and would prefer that
a court of law sorted it out. But I think the problem here is that the
releasing of all those documents and the aftermath upset quite a few
people / governments that prevent impartial justice.
