Many on the left - who support Wikileaks - want Assange to be extradited. There have been plenty of articles in The Independent (good article by Laurie Penny a couple of days ago), the Guardian and the New Statesman (which has published articles which are extremely critical of Assange alongside Pilger's). But then reading those before writing this article would be the first step on the road to becoming a journalist and I think that's a sackable offence at the Telegraph these days.
