Re: UPDATED: Julian Assange: Wikileaks Founder Arrested
We shouldn't extradite to any place we can't extradite from. I believe you can't extradite a US citizen from the US so we shouldn't extradite to there. If Assange isn't UK citizen we have a bit more freedom, should involve his national representative.

Tbf the only thing the guy has been found guilty of is skipping bail for charges that were dropped anyway. Has to be said he doesn't help himself, but that doesn't make him an enemy of the state. This is all to do with the US, and having their illegal activities exposed. I wouldn't think extradition is a given, our judiciary can be be independent thank goodness.

I wonder what all those Labour MPs were saying about the prospect of him being sent to Sweden when the situation originally arose? |

I think it's a long way from that now. Wikileaks seems to have become a tool for Julian Assange to make a name for himself, to become famous. I think that various intelligence services have, whether he is aware or not, taken advantage of that, and used him (and therefore Wikileaks) to leak intelligence with the aim of causing massive disruption. Do I believe the rape accusations? I don't know. I believe the man is a narcissist, and is in this for his own ends, rather than the good of society, but none of that indicates being a potential rapist. The news reports I have seen appear to contain conclusive evidence, a statement which I would say is backed up by the fact he ran and stayed in another embassy for 7 years rather than face court. |
Re: UPDATED: Julian Assange: Wikileaks Founder Arrested
Even at the time he was dodgy. It just so happened a stopped clock is right twice a day and he got two legitimate public interest stories amongst all the other leaks he obtained and released which were not so legitimate. Even then it may well be that The Guardian and The New York Times were responsible for filtering and reporting on those stories, his relationship with them soured quite quickly and they've since stated that he was a loose cannon willingly wanting to publish unredacted material even if it named informants and put them in danger.
