> Assange seems to have decided "the enemy of my enemy is my friend", which was a very bad idea when applied to Putin's Russia

What if he simply decided that the information he obtained is worth having out there no matter the source? It seems to me that you're simply upset that he dared to do so and are trying very hard to come up with a rationalization for why he's a Bad Guy(tm) for daring to turn the tables. It's a transparent and rather lackluster attempt to shift the conversation from what to who.

No, I'm upset that he took money from the Kremlin and hosted a show on Russia Today. (At least it was before 2014 I guess...)

One can only hope that you're at least as upset at the double tapping criminals he exposed.
