Today as Assange appears to be free, I’m thinking about my uncle, former FT and Guardian Muddle East correspondent who was sacked under orders of the US state department for trying to report the truth in the Middle East.

We’re all cunts somehow, no one is perfect but war crimes are war crimes and should be reported. The US and UK murdered around 250,000 innocent Iraqi people. Think about that for a minute.

RIP Gareth, I love you and think about you every day.
