Julian Asssange - the WikiLeaks founder - continues to lash out at the people who are asking very reasonable questions about his behaviour - towards two women in Sweden.
To his credit, Assange gave his first extended interview the other day to Radio 4's John Humphrys - but his attempts to justify and explain his actions - make him sound decidedly odd and other worldly.
Pressed by John Humphrys to answer whether he was a 'sexual predator' - Assange's answer was that he ''just likes women''.
Even more strange were his attempts to dismiss the fears of the two separate women with whom he had unprotected sex - within the course of a few days.
Assange said that two women probably "found out that they were mutual lovers of mine and they had unprotected sex and they got into a tizzy about whether there was a possibility of sexually transmitted diseases".
Now I can understand the fears of someone who might worry about contracting HIV or some other sexually transmitted disease - especially if their 'partner' was being promiscuous and irresponsible.
So for Assange to describe these women as getting themselves into a 'tizzy' is not just insensitive - it's completely bizarre.
