You don’t have to link to FDL for this story, but I found this particular sentence pretty disingenuous:

“Radack said she was “stone face cold” during the interrogation but afterward was shaking and in tears. “How did he know to bring up those names?”

Is that supposed to instill fear in others, or laughter, about someone who’s not above slinging a lot of shit herself? Obviously, if you were on your way to the Ecuadorean embassy in London to meet up with Assange, yes, you’re going to be questioned, extensively, about your associations.

You’re a lawyer, considering yourself an international human rights attorney, so, how, if you were actually afraid, were you able to stand up to this awful “interrogation” without breaking down and only did so afterwards? Is it because you weren’t really afraid (except of being arrested) and were merely in a rage that you were questioned at all? Did you ever consider that perhaps the Heathrow Border Force agent knew about all the others he questioned you about because he actually read about them or do you think those low level types like him are just stupid functionaries for whom you have absolutely no respect?
