I’m feeling a lot better today guys.  Tomorrow I’m taking ‘Rachel’ out for dinner and I’ve been trying to tell you guys about her and our meeting last Friday.  My original San Francisco mate has tomorrow off and I think I’ll be up for a game of tennis – I’m terrible at tennis but I’m keen for the exercise and the courts up at Buena Vista park have an amazing view (although the courts are pretty old).

The topic of Julian Assange comes up a little bit recently – maybe because I’m an Aussie a lot of my American friends what to know what I think of him.  I just saw on TV that he has lost his appeal against his extradition from the UK.

To be honest, I have been out of the news cycle when Assange has been in the headlines and I really don’t know what to make of his current sexual molestation charges.  On that topic I don’t know Assange or what happened and I’d hate to be on record defending him if it came out that he was guilty of what has been alleged.

As for WikiLeaks…..  I view it as a media outlet, not a media source.  I think that kid in the US who released sensitive information to WikiLeaks should be tried for treason and if found guilty should face the consequences – what he did was wrong.  But I don’t think you can blame a media outlet when it didn’t do anything illegal to get the source material.

I’m a little naive and I’m interested to hear your thoughts.
