Ironic to see the New Statesman portray Julian Assange as Saint Sebastian on this week's front cover.
The gay saint/queer martyr in the Wikileaks saga is clearly Bradley Manning.
In an interview with John Pilger, Assange says;

"Cracking Bradley Manning is the first step. The aim clearly is to break him and force a confession that he somehow conspired with me to harm the national security of the United States."
