Is Julian Assange, the Salmon Rushdie of the 21st Century?

Remember the time when a Middle East state was hunting the author of a document deemed to be a threat against its sovereignty? No, I’m not talking about Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange and the USA. Salmon Rushdie was just such a target during the early 1990s. Forced to go into hiding to flee state terrorism unleashed by the Islamic Republic of Iran. How history repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.
