Assange began
hacking under the name Mendax (from
Horace's splendide
mendax: "nobly untruthful").
That was Julian's teeny-bop spy parody proto-Hebdo. Slyer wit now with
middle-aged foreign
affairs pedantry. Endless war askance a pension plan.
You know what, John: you're
right. It doesn't matter what Mendax calls you. Some of us
have placed you in that category all on our own.
Recent events would not have been quite as alarming, otherwise.
