Agreed. I don't think there is much politically that he and I would agree on, but he appears to be fearless. He follows his convictions wherever that may lead - even if it upsets people who you might expect to be his political allies.

It's also worth noting that he a) upset the British government when an Ambassador for publicising GWOT rendition flights, and b) has also upset the SNP/Scottish Government for publicising SNP corruption and their treatment of Alex Salmond.
