Why would "we" want Assange to go free? He's wanted for questioning on allegations of sexual assault.

Why did we want Aaron Swartz to go free? He was actually charged with a felony crime.

Or maybe some times things aren't what they seem and their are political motivations, and they require politics to fight them, not just blindly following false justice

These allegations of sexual assault really should be investigated in good faith. The time is coincidental, I'll grant that, with the allegations being levied against Assange shortly after WikiLeaks published something so prominent, but non-consensual sexual activity is a horrible thing to do to a person, and the impact of such should not be mitigated.
