As support for his claim that Assange is "essentially imprisoned for eight years," Greenwald's opinion piece (I wouldn't call it a news article) also links to a 2011 Telegraph article about Assange's then-current stay in an opulent manor while fighting extradition to Sweden to face sex charges.

Greenwald seems to have a thing for peppering his writings with links to sources that fail to support his claims. I guess he thinks spurious links make his screeds seem more credible.
