Assange might not be a good person but that is not the point, he did something objectively good by reporting on US war crimes and that is why he is being persecuted by the evil empire. We want reports like these to be made in the future as well and the release of Assange is a good thing as it somewhat detracts from the chilling effect the brutal treatment he has received has had on journalists.
He should still be ruthlessly denounced for any form of reactionary thought but the evil empire backing down from their persecution of him is good. It shows that they are afraid they can't even win in their own courts.
