biggest outrage and abuse of a Western police system I've heard of in awhile. I'm confident that once Assange is in American hands (through Sweden) he will be dead/ locked away in maximum security for the rest of his life. | ||

Only when Wikileaks began its 'megaleaks' did the prosecutor suddenly feel the need to revisit the case without any new evidence. No there was a battle over different judges on what the allegations would be classified as. Some said rape, some said sexual misconduct. It was never dropped. | ||

Wikileaks is no better than a government trying to protect itself. what list? the diplomatic cables? those started coming out couple days _before_ interpol issue an arrest warrant. | ||

We can see this circus happening in full global view, knowing it's all crap and that governments are lying and acting immorally, and there's _absolutely_ _nothing_ we can do. Assange is going to get convicted by these obvious lies while millions of us stand around shocked. What we, as normal people are going to see, is a man with skewed views on how global progress works and is going to jail for crimes against the global community that borders on terrorism. | ||

It disgusted me that so many people would dismiss a serious allegation that would have jail time in america just because of his celebrity status. wait a condom breaking is worth jail time in the US? | ||

crimes against the global community that borders on terrorism. I seriously cannot believe you just wrote that, in this context, in context of the material released, in the context of the "global community", in the context of international law, etc etc etc, seriously.......?!?!!? The level of hypocrisy regarding this really is stunning. | ||

I know i'll be there. | ||

Assange is going to get convicted by these obvious lies while millions of us stand around shocked. I would be absolutely shocked if he got stuck with anything serious. Legally, there's nothing on him. If, however, he actually does get thrown in jail there's more avenues today than ever before to 'fight the power.' The simplest way that comes to mind is the giant 'Donate' button on the Wikileaks webpage, but if you're up to putting in the time and energy, finding out how to take more drastic action is as simple as sending an email or two to the right places. If you really care, step up and get involved. The really dangerous thing isn't that we can't do anything. It's that we don't. | ||

Well since they're dumb enough to protest in the streets about how all education should be free (it is, it's called a library), then they'd probably protest the justified extradition of a war criminal to the united states. User was warned for this post | ||

I don't think you know what a "war criminal" means. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_crime At worst Assange is a thief who steals informations. | ||

Such big gestures. Explain how he is a war criminal. I'm sensing a lot bitterness in you for some reason. | ||

These leaks actually got the media to do its job and go through current events more deeply (and maybe even force some less biased investigative journalism instead of c/p shit from the Associated Press). They, the media, are literally forced to go through these leaks if they want to stay relevant as "news sources" and that's definitely a good thing because the majority of media sources, News Corp especially, are utterly worthless at anything but peddling talking points and copying articles. That's why he leaks shit in the way he does. Because he knows the media is pretty worthless and will not do anything unless they are basically forced to. | ||
