I learned in life that one should not write things, say things, or be engaged in activities, that one would be embarrassed by reading about on the front pages of the New York Times. Of course, no one can live by that perfectly, but I don’t really see any reason why our leaders could not try to do so.
I also learned in life that politicians, and bad leadership activities, often say one thing publicly while they are doing the opposite in reality. This is so that they can (or believe they can) fool the public, or their followers, about their real activities. Could Assange be doing us a service here?
