In violation of international law.

 

 

The timing is very suspicious.  I suspect that we never hear from Mr. Assange again.  He’s probably already dead.

 

From what I've heard, it wasn't a violation of international law: Ecuador withdrew sanctuary, then invited the Brits in to take him in to custody.

Update:

 

Third hand account, so take it for what it’s worth, but Assange is in British court as we speak, and it looks as though he is going to be extradited to the US.

 

Wasn't he hiding from rape charges in Sweden?  

 

I mean...I think he's an #######...but what charges are pending in the US, again?

 

Edit: Oh, he's charged with computer hacking.  Four hours AFTER he's taken in to custody.

“There’s no basis to arrest him in London for the sexual assault investigation in Sweden,” said Napolitano. “He apparently has been charged with something in the United States. We don't know. Because of this inadvertent release of a warrant for him. That is probably the true reason for his arrest. He will probably be extradited here. We will see the indictment. And we will probably have a show trial.”

The (probably minor) hang up is that the Brits don't extradite to countries that have the death penalty. The US has to give assurances that they won't seek it.

 

Meanwhile in Court for violating parole in UK, which carries up to a year.

 

Apparently, Assange fell out with the new Ecuadoran regime and was acting like an ungrateful guest. This must have helped grease the skids.  Though the other side of the coin is: The previous Ecuadoran Counsel was on BBC Radio this morning saying that Assange hasn't left his room in almost a year -- no visitors, computer, or phone calls allowed during that time, either.

I was hoping to find an answer to that myself...i am hearing that he's evil incarnated, I'm hearing he's a martyr, a hero...i have no idea what to think...i also hear that certain people with roots in arkansas should watch their backs.

No matter what, he's still Ass-mange to me.

 

i remember vividly when Daniel Ellsberg was given a daily butt-smootching by the media and liberals as being the most heroic American ever.
