I wonder if Assange will ever look back on his life and think
“I totally wasted 7 years of my life basically choosing to go to be confined to 1 room ...... to avoid just the possibility of being confined to prison elsewhere (for maybe we’ll under 7 years ).
.... doesn’t strike me as a very intelligent approach
Isn’t the point that he was trying to avoid the trumped up Swedish charges which were designed to get him extradited to USA and a life in supermax, so seems quite sensible.“I totally wasted 7 years of my life basically choosing to go to be confined to 1 room ...... to avoid just the possibility of being confined to prison elsewhere (for maybe we’ll under 7 years ).

But with Trump in charge, will what he faces in the US be a continuation of the show?

I didn’t quite catch their name ?
Are you advocating this random attention seeker should be the arbiter of what is in the public domain ?

In so far as we are extraditing him to Sweden yes. What they do with him is up to them I guess!
Hasn’t the Swedish case been dropped? This arrest is because he broke bail conditionals relating to the Swedish case. But Swedish prosecutors are no longer pursuing that case.If he has nothing to hide, why was he hiding in there for 7 years?
Hopefully justice can now be done.

And if you think the Swedish are apt to making s
t up at the behest of the Yanks you are sorely mistaken. They are the most liberal, wishy-washy lot in Europe and far too concerned with Human Rights than pandering to the US. Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
