NYT on the Side of Assange?

``Update: A reader suggests, rightly, that a tangential discussion about language and translation should not distract attention from the fact that, as Scott Horton explained in a post on the Harper’s Web site, a leaked Pentagon strategy document for dealing with WikiLeaks, “repeatedly identifies Assange as a target, describes the leaks as criminal acts and advocates ’successful prosecutions’ to ‘destroy the center of gravity’ of WikiLeaks. The suspicions raised by Assange are thus hardly unwarranted — they match the Pentagon’s own plan to take WikiLeaks out of action.”''
