That's rather assumptive of the world dealing with said information responsibly. Instead, this is going to fuel the paranoid and the insecure (and lord knows we have enough of those in power) with justification for war and tension.
There's absolutely no right to know what the government is saying and doing - most of these are off-the-cuff remarks that are now going to be magnified by those who assume they 'have a say' and a 'right to hear' everything, which has been fuelled by mass media.

Ohai Godwin.
Not at all - the kind of information leaked doesn't influence us in any way, the dealings are diplomatic, not domestic.
And my point still stands about how dangerous and irresponsible this information is. Your "tough!" comment really says it all, though...just don't go asking for a nuclear shelter, then. See how glorious freedom is then.
This is appalling. I'm curious to read everything, yes, aren't we all, but this is so unbelievably damaging; there are just some things that shouldn't be out in the open, particularly not in a massive data leak at one time. Now that it's out there, it can't disappear. I agree with Shaun, this along with the North/South Korea stand off is making me very nervous about what might happen next.

It's about how that escalates though, arista. Do you think the US and the rest of the world would sit back as North Korea uses those sorts of weapons?
However, I do take comfort in the fact that even China, their strongest ally, has been eager to try and resolve the situation. I do think maybe it's just the afraid person in me that's exaggerating this kind of threat.
But back on topic, with the Wikileaks stuff, this isn't going to help any kind of diplomacy, it's just put a lot of people in embarrassing situations and is going to exacerbate any tensions with the Middle East, particularly Iran. It's dangerous stuff - quotes like "The current Iranian regime is effectively a fascist state and the time has come to decide on next steps.", "Without progress in the next few months, we risk nuclear proliferation in the Middle East, war prompted by an Israeli strike, or both" - they're not just embarrassing for the United States - how do you think Iran is going to respond to that? Sure, they're always hateful and dismissive of the West, but all sorts of wheels could now be in motion.

Which makes the Yanks look like the Big Bully.
If the North uses a Nuke, America after it could fire into the North.
But China wants America to behave

¶K. ABU DHABI 909 (NOTAL)
Classified By: Ambassador Michele J. Sison, reasons 1.4 (b) and (d).
¶1. (S) Summary. Embassy Abu Dhabi looks forward to welcoming
you to the UAE on April 23. In the aftermath of the
controversy of the Dubai Ports World acquisition of P&O, your
assurances to Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin
Zayed (MbZ), your host for the visit, that the USG values the
UAE as an ally and friend will be well received. While you
should commend the UAE for its assistance and cooperation,
you should take advantage of your luncheon with MbZ and his
brother, State Security Director Sheikh Hazza, to push the
UAE on several areas of interest to the USG:
counterterrorism, counter terror finance, Iran, Hamas, Iraq,
and ideological extremism (each is covered in the
scenesetter). The UAE remains a committed partner in the
global war on terror, but it continues to take an ad hoc
approach to countering terrorism that "solves" the problem
for the UAE locally, but fails to contribute on a
transnational basis. In January, the U.S. and the UAE held
the first meeting of the Joint Terrorist Finance Coordinating
Committee (JTFCC), but the discussions were not as detailed
or as robust as the U.S. delegation anticipated. Treasury
U/S Levey will return to the UAE to hold a second meeting
April 30 that will focus on cash couriers and charities.
¶2. (S) Although the UAE regards Iran as one of its most
serious threats to national security, UAE officials are
reluctant to take actions that could anger their neighbor and
compromise their extensive trading relationship. At the same
time, we are seeing more of a willingness on the part of the
UAE to support USG initiatives without the full approval of
the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). As tensions escalate
between Iran and the international community, the UAE is
growing increasingly nervous. The UAE leadership--which has
told us they consider Hamas a terrorist organization--plans
to uphold its previous commitments of humanitarian assistance
to the Palestinian people. The UAE has taken an active role
in encouraging Sunni participation in the Iraqi political
process and it continues to condemn the sectarian violence
that is preventing stabilization of the country. In the face
of growing ideological extremism in the Gulf, the UAE
leadership is politically determined not to allow Islamist
extremists to gain a foothold on UAE soil. End Summary.
Counterterrorism Efforts
------------------------
¶3. (S) The UAE is concerned about the terrorist threat to the
UAE, but lacks a comprehensive implementation strategy for
reducing its vulnerability (ref A). The UAE considers
homeland security one of its top priorities, but rather than
prioritizing national security projects, its efforts have
focused on contracting risk assessments, forming committees,
and procuring equipment. The UAE has also aggressively tried
to prevent the radicalization of UAE nationals and Arab/South
Asian expatriates. UAE officials publicly and strongly
condemn extremism and terrorist attacks, anti-extremism has
been the focus of government-approved Friday sermons in the
mosques, and the UAE ministry of Education has modernized the
Islamic studies curriculum in its schools.
¶4. (S) The UAEG government reacts quickly when presented with
evidence of a terrorist presence inside the UAE, but does not
approach the problem from a transnational manner. The UAE's
immediate response when terrorists pose a risk is to deport
them. UAE agencies do not investigate fully to see how far
the problem goes or whether there is an international network
involved. Although the U.S./UAE counterterrorism cooperation
is strong (with the UAE working closely with the USG on
specific cases), Emiratis do not consistently share lead
information found in the possession of individuals in their
custody with each other or with the U.S. Government. These
tactics limit law enforcement and intelligence services'
ability to use intelligence to disrupt extremist cells and
planned attacks. The UAE's insistence on deportation as a
solution does not protect the country long-term or truly
address the nature and scope of the problem. The UAEG must
be willing to take action against Emirati nationals, it must
investigate fully, and it must share information with other
Gulf countries and with the USG.
¶5. (S) The only way to generate significant change in the UAE
on the issue of counterterrorism is to convince the senior
leadership that it needs to continue to display political
will and commitment in tackling the terror challenge with a
transnational approach. MbZ is the person most able to
elicit this type of change. Embassy recommends you have a
frank and forthright discussion during your meeting with MbZ
and his younger brother, Hazza, to encourage this type of
change. Although you should commend them for the UAE's CT
efforts and cooperation, you should also encourage them to be
personally involved in developing a more effective and fully
cooperative counterterrorism posture.
Counterterrorism Finance
------------------------
¶6. (S) The UAE has made significant strides in regulating the
financial sector against money laundering and terrorist
financing (ref B). Although the UAE now has a strong legal
framework in place, it must turn its efforts to enforcement.
It is imperative that UAE authorities investigate and
prosecute violators of terror finance/anti-money laundering,
cash courier, and charity laws and regulations. To date,
investigation and prosecution has been weak. In an effort to
increase U.S. and UAE cooperation on terrorist financing, the
first meeting of the U.S/UAE Joint Terrorist Finance
Coordinating Committee (JTFCC) was held in Abu Dhabi on
January 24, 2005 (ref C). The UAE team had representatives
from the Central Bank, State Security, Ministries of
Interior, Foreign Affairs, and Justice. However, no one
participated from Dubai. In order for the JTFCC to be an
effective committee, Dubai's Police, State Security, Customs,
and the Department of Islamic Affairs and Charities must
participate. Embassy is coordinating a second meeting April
30 that will focus on cash couriers and charity regulations.
Iran
----
¶7. (S/NF) UAE leaders are very concerned about escalating
tensions between Iran and the international community. The
UAE feels vulnerable--as evidenced by the fact that its
leaders frequently note that Iran is "very near" the UAE.
Commercial ties between Dubai and Iran are significant (Dubai
is Iran's largest non-oil trading partner), and as a result
the UAEG walks a fine line between maintaining and
encouraging this trade and working to prevent suspected
Iranian proliferation activities. Although the UAEG is
worried about Iran's nuclear ambitions, its short-term policy
decisions regarding Iran center on not provoking its
neighbor. The USG has approached the UAEG four times since
January, asking it to interdict and inspect cargo suspected
of going to Iran's nuclear and/or missile programs. None of
those instances have resulted in a successful interdiction.
In the first two instances UAE officials simply refused to
take action (refs F and G). The Director of Dubai's State
Security Organization explained during the 11 February
U.S./UAE Counterproliferation Task Force meeting that the
decision to not inspect the containers had been a political
decision based on the UAE's concern that Iran might retaliate
(ref H). In the two later instances (ref K), ships that had
been scheduled to arrive in Dubai went directly to Bandar
Abbas.
¶8. (S) In recent meetings with senior USG officials, MbZ has
expressed clear support for U.S. initiatives against Iran.
MbZ and UAE Vice President and Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed
bin Rashid agreed with Secretary Rice February 23 about the
need to counter Iran's growing influence in the region and
its nuclear ambitions, although they specified that any
sanctions should target the key Iranian leadership, not the
Iranian people (ref I). MbZ told A/S Welch March 28 that he
did not think it was necessary to wait for all Gulf
Cooperation Council (GCC) countries to agree before
proceeding with any plans against Iran (ref E). "Whoever is
interested in getting on board ship should be encouraged," he
said. "I don't think it's logical or smart to wait for
everyone to get involved so we can sail. ... If another GCC
member believes it's not right, that's his choice." In the
Arab region, MbZ specifically identified Bahrain and Jordan
as two countries that also view Iran as a threat and that are
"capable to work with us." He told A/S Welch that the UAE
would prepare a paper responding to USG concerns about Iran
and mechanisms for addressing the challenge posed by Iran.
In a March 27 meeting with CENTCOM Commander General Abizaid,
MbZ spoke about the Iranian threat with a greater sense of
urgency. He was strongly in favor of taking action against
Iran and its president sooner rather than later. "I believe
this guy is going to take us to war. ... It's a matter of
time," MbZ warned, adding that action against Iran and
President Ahmedinejad should be taken this year or next year.
MbZ said he was unwilling to wait much longer. "Personally,
I cannot risk it with a guy like Ahmedinejad. He is young
and aggressive."
¶9. (S/NF) SSD Director Hazza told A/S Welch March 29 that the
Ayatollah Ali Khameini had once issued a fatwa prohibiting
the use of nuclear weapons by Iran, but noted that this
should not be considered a guarantee. Hazza assessed that
Iran is also a threat due to its ties to international
terrorist organizations, including al-Qaida, as well as their
financial support to Hamas. He added that the relationship
between Iran and Syria, and their links to Hizballah, was
also of concern, as was Iran's attempts to expand its
influence in Iraq and elsewhere in the world. MbZ also
expressed to A/S Welch March 28 the concern that Hizballah
was supporting Hamas. During your meeting, you should
explain the graduated approach to addressing Iran in the
United Nations Security Council and encourage the UAE to
isolate Iran--regardless of potential economic backlash. You
should also explain the importance of the UAE working closely
with the USG on interdiction requests. This meeting will be
a good follow-on to the discussion U/S Joseph had with
Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed al-Nahyan (AbZ) on April
8, where Joseph outlined the USG's policy priorities for Iran
(septel). (Note: While AbZ, like MbZ, expressed support for
U.S. initiatives against Iran, he stated that the USG should
come to the UAE as a "very last resort. ... If you can solve
something without involving the UAE, please do so." End
Note.)
Palestinian Territories/Hamas
-----------------------------
¶10. (S) UAE leaders have told us that they consider Hamas a
terrorist organization and that they would not fund Hamas
unless they denounce violence (refs D and E). However, after
Hamas political chief Khaled Meshaal visited Abu Dhabi on
March 22 and met with UAE Minister of Presidential Affairs
Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al-Nahyan and Minister of State for
Foreign Affairs Mohammed al-Sha'ali, Meshaal publicly claimed
that the UAEG had pledged to continue to provide financial
assistance to the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority (ref J).
MbZ told A/S Welch March 28 that the UAEG allowed Meshaal to
come, but that "officially, we don't recognize Khaled
Meshaal." MbZ said that once a new Palestinian Prime
Minister is selected, UAEG officials will travel to the
Palestinian territories to ascertain that UAEG assistance is
"going to the right people." UAE Vice President and Prime
Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid sounded a note of
optimism when he told Secretary Rice February 23 that Hamas,
"with some pressure," would understand the need to respect
the will of the international community.
¶11. (S) The UAE has historically provided significant
financial assistance to the Palestinian people. Typically,
the UAE sends aid to the Palestinian territories through
charity organizations, or by projectized assistance; but the
UAEG has also provided financial assistance directly to the
Palestinian Authority, most recently $20 million in March
2006 to Mahmoud Abbas for salaries. In the wake of the Hamas
electoral victory, UAE leaders told us they intend to honor
their previous commitments of humanitarian assistance
(including the $100 million Sheikh Khalifa housing complex
that was announced last year).
¶12. (S/NF) In his meeting with A/S Welch March 29, SSD
Director Hazza assessed that there was both a positive and a
negative side to the Hamas election win. On the negative
side, he cited Hamas' position with regard to Israel, and
their violent agenda. On the positive side, Hazza noted the
fact that Hamas was now in power and was accountable to the
international community. He spoke to A/S Welch of the threat
posed by the Muslim Brotherhood. Hazza also asked A/S Welch
how the USG would react to those countries that did support
the Hamas government, and whether they would run afoul of
U.S. laws restricting support to terrorist organizations.
A/S Welch replied that that would be a problem, emphasizing
that no money should go to the government unless Hamas
renounced violence and accepted Israel. A/S Welch also told
Hazza that it was not the responsibility of the U.S. or other
Arab countries to pay the salaries of the new Hamas
government, underscoring the need for Hamas to show
accountability. MbZ told A/S Welch that Hamas benefited from
"official and private contributions" from Saudi Arabia,
Kuwait, and Qatar. MbZ said it was "easy to take $1 million
in a suitcase" to Lebanon, alluding to cash couriers.
Iraq
----
¶13. (S/NF) A partner in the war on terror, the UAE continues
to provide U.S. forces access, overflight clearances, and
other critical logistical assistance to Operation Iraqi
Freedom (and Operation Enduring Freedom). The UAE has also
been a helpful supporter of Iraq's burgeoning political
process. It has worked with Iraqi political and religious
figures to encourage greater Sunni integration, and it has
consulted with Ambassador Khalilzad on a number of occasions
about the need to stem sectarianism in Iraq. The UAE has
publicly condemned acts of sectarian and terrorist violence
in Iraq, most recently, the February 22 bombing of the
al-Askariya Shrine. MbZ and Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid
expressed their concerns about Iran's interference in Iraq's
internal affairs to Secretary Rice during her visit to Abu
Dhabi February 23. MbZ further told General Abizaid that
discontent with Iraqi Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Ja'afari was
creating volunteers for al-Qaida. He pledged the UAE's
support to the fight against al-Qaida. In his meeting with
A/S Welch, MbZ advocated using the Arabic language media to
tell Iraqis the truth about how many of their own people are
dying at the hands of the insurgents. If Iraqis were to see
the figures, he opined, they would conclude that support of
the insurgency is "not worth it."
Ideological Extremism
---------------------
¶14. (S) MbZ and his brothers continue to be outspoken on the
issue of Muslim extremists and the threat they pose to the
region. MbZ underscored for A/S Welch the UAE's preferred
approach of denying extremists a foothold rather than
allowing them to play a role in the political process.
Although he warns of the dangers of free elections in
countries with a well-organized Muslim Brotherhood presence,
he tells USG guests that the UAE will go ahead with
elections. The Emirati leadership has told us that they will
not allow Islamists to participate in elections. (Note: The
UAE has announced that half of the members of the Federal
National Council would be elected while half would continue
to be appointed by the rulers of the various emirates.
Despite this announcement, the UAE still lags behind other
Gulf states in terms of democratization. End Note.) MbZ
also sees extremist ideology threatening the educational
system, where he and his brothers are spending considerable
resources to modernize the curriculum and the teaching corps.

The Americans are a bit upset about this leak, its not really a major problem, intelligence and diplomatic communities are suspicious of everyone. Most probably already know the contents of not only these documents but also even higher classified ones still in circulation.
When I worked with the yanks in the 80's and 90's occasionally we would come across classified documents with the additional caveat NOFORN it means it should not be allowed to be viewed by foreign nationals. Anyone not American, that is.
We were briefed previously that if this occurred just leave the document to them. Being nosey though most of us would have a peek. The files would contain information similar to this sort of stuff, briefing notes, intelligence assessments and information that they deemed sensitive to their national interests which was sometimes divergent to the UK's.
The Yanks do as a nation suffer from paranoia and love their little secrets.
But all countries act primarily in their own interests. Or rather in the interests of the particular administration in charge of it at the time.

Julian Assange thinks he has the right to make these decisions for us all?? but at the same time he says he believes in democracy???

I don't watch any cable news, cnn, fox or msnbc. i've only been following this story on the guardian.
He's gone too far now. He's now released a specific list outlining all of the major targets to disable the US. No one can now say that this isn't an attack on the US.
Wikileaks has now released an actual list of targets against the US for terrorists. Can't wait to hear how Assange and his fat lawyer with bad hair is gonna justify this.

Well i for one am glad to live in a democracy, where elected leaders are running the country, not some random dude from the internet.
If Dan Bull thinks he could do a better job, why isn't he running for public office?
I'm sick of all the people online, that have so much criticism, but do nothing about it. Why don't YOU try to run a country, see how easy the decisions seem then. Put YOUR name on the ballot then!
So many Monday morning quarterbacks.
We have the government that WE VOTED FOR. We live in democratic countries. The government is OF the people BY the people FOR the people. the government IS US. But so many people try to pretend they arn't accountable for their own government's actions.
people have no idea how hard it is to make these decisions. You are entrusted by the public to PROTECT them. You may think you know better, but you don't.
If you don't trust yur government, then DON'T ELECT THEM. Simple as that.
What utter shallow drivel the goverment are civil servants elected and employed by the public to represent the views of the majority of electorate.
It is the responsibility of the public to hold them to account for their policies and their actions and if you dont agree with them it is your responsibility to let them know and if need be vote for somebody else to replace them who you think will do a better job.
How can you make an informed decision on whether or not they are serving the people adequately and fairly when you condone them lying and hiding facts from the very people they represent.
You seem willing to go along with whatever your goverment decides is best for without even questioning them you come across as a sheep that wants to be herded without even wanting to know where you are being led that is scary and that is not democracy.
Who the hell said they wanted dan bull to lead the country? dont be stupid he is a musician who i said i agree with his views on wikileaks that is all.

Those who voted for lib-dem didn't vote based on just their policies, they voted lib-dem because they trusted that specific candidate to make judgements.
This also plays into the student fee's debate, because all these people who voted lib-dem are complaining that the lib-dems arn't fullfilling their policy commitments, but you don't just vote for a politician for their policies, you vote for them entrusting them to make JUDGEMENTS on your behalf.

I voted for Hillary clinton in the primaries, but i was left with barack obama as my candidate. i had my say, and i didn't win, so then i had another chice, john mccain or barack obama. I chose barack obama, not because of his policies, but because i trusted his JUDGEMENT.

Gosh you dont suppose its all about America because the documents were from US sources, you know US diplomatic and US Intelligence assessments. They were US in origin, shared internally with the the US afministration, military and intelligence communities. Most were marked as being NORORN which means NO Foreign Nationals are to have access.
As for the content of the documents, of course they are going to point out the weaknesses and flaws in other countries administrations, except a lot of the flaws they point out are simply the opinions of the originating officers. Saying that though the documents didnt come from other countries like New Zealand or any other minor little country like Britain did they?

Thats not strictly true, in fact its complete and utter bollocks all previous leaked documents are available for download in an archived form.
Due to recent attacks on our infrastructure, we've decided to make sure everyone can reach our content. As part of this process we're releasing archived copy of all files we ever released - that's almost 20,000 files. The archive linked here contains a torrent generated for each file and each directory.
The site itself claims this is because they have come under attack from "various" sources no doubt american in origin.

Yeah and all politicians and lawyers always tell the truth.
It also gives the US time to scour both their laws and ours and put together a case for the UK to extradite him directly to the US over Sweden, we do have an expedited extradition treaty with the US, which they will probably use to claim him.
The US UK Treaty is very one sided in their favour and allows them to apply for extradition to the US for crimes against US Law even though they were committed elsewhere, and the level of proof for them to apply is significantly lower than we would need to apply for them to extradite someone in the US to us.
They have a minimum of just under a week to sort something out either with us or the Swedes. He isnt going anywhere which will please the Yanks as they were panicking that he may skip to a country without an extradition treaty with them should they decide to prosecute.

One of the most revealing releases and shows of US arrogance towards other nations so far for me.
The US kidnap an innocent German citizen whose name just happens to be the same as a wanted terrorist, he is subject to rendition to the middle east where he is tortured and sodomized by his torturers and then eventually - when the US finally work out that he is not the man they want - he is dumped by the roadside in Albania.
The US government then appies political pressure to the German government not to arrest the CIA operatives responsible for this crime and even a country as rich and powerful as Germany bows down and does nothing to protect its citizens.
This case – regarding Khaled El Masari is well known in Germany – read about it here.
http://www.aclu.org/national-security/us-pressured-germany-not-prosecute-cia-officers-torture-and-rendition
Given how the US government arranges the torture of innocent people and then pressures the German government to do nothing to the prepetrators, anyone who thinks the arrest and detention of Julian Assange for "holding a person down forcefully with his arms" and failing to use a condom during consensual intercourse is not politically motivated is a naive fool.
I hope the Swedish people hold their government to account. Try Assagne on the charges in Sweden by all means, but do not allow his extradition to America where he will become a political prisoner subject to torture and possibly even execution.

One of the most revealing releases and shows of US arrogance towards other nations so far for me.
The US kidnap an innocent German citizen whose name just happens to be the same as a wanted terrorist, he is subject to rendition to the middle east where he is tortured and sodomized by his torturers and then eventually - when the US finally work out that he is not the man they want - he is dumped by the roadside in Albania.
The US government then appies political pressure to the German government not to arrest the CIA operatives responsible for this crime and even a country as rich and powerful as Germany bows down and does nothing to protect its citizens.
This case – regarding Khaled El Masari is well known in Germany – read about it here.
http://www.aclu.org/national-security/us-pressured-germany-not-prosecute-cia-officers-torture-and-rendition
There is no evidence for this case at all. You do know that arabs have been trained to LIE and fabricate stories as propaganda against the US, right?
Terrorists learn how to exagerate stories and make themselves into victims as a form of propaganda. It's well known. Just like they know to hide behind women and children, so when they are attacked, they use them as human shields, so that it makes America look bad. They want as many civilian casualties as possible.
You are incredibly naive if you believe the word of an arab over the word of an American.

No I think it is you who are deluded, did you read the link posted?
Are you saying the document is not from the person stated about this case?
The document, a 2007 cable from the U.S. Embassy in Berlin, describes a meeting during which the then-deputy chief of the U.S. mission to Germany, John M. Koenig, urged German officials to "weigh carefully at every step of the way the implications for relations with the U.S." of issuing international arrest warrants in the El-Masri case
Rendition type flights have been used for over 30 years. Prior to persons of Middle Eastern origin, it used to be Latin Americans who copped a free ride on CIA airlines.

You know Innocent till proven guilty - Ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat (Burden of proof and all that).
After handing himself in to police he was arrested on suspicion of commiting sexual offences in Sweden.
Incidentally he is only wanted for questioning in Sweden, as for the rape allegations its interesting to note earlier this year the Swedish Chief Prosecutor withdrew international arrest warrants stating "I don't think there is reason to suspect that he has committed rape"
Got to love this comment from the gobsh1te who wants to be the first female President - Palin has said WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange should be hunted down in the way armed forces are targeting the Taliban and Al-Qaeda. I would love to see her in full PMS flow with her finger on the nuke button.
Its also interesting to note that after the issue of the "interpol red notice" (request to locate) Assange offered to meet with Swedish Prosecutors in either London or Sweden provided they furnished him with details of the alleged offences and statements against him in a language he understood(English) The Swedish Prosecution Service refused.

why doesn't he just voluntarily go back to sweden to face the charges if he has nothing to hide??? why is he fighting extradition?? the swedes have already said that they have not been influenced by the USA at all.
If he was a man that believes in transparency and justice, he'd go to Sweden and face the charges like a man.
But instead he's hiding behind Wikileaks as an excuse for raping 2 women. He thinks because he's a co-founder of Wikileaks he's ABOVE justice.

It isnt anything to do with the Constitution of the US.
Its not a trial in the UK.
And he isnt currently facing any charges, he is wanted for questioning.
As accurate as always.
my bad, "hearing" in the UK, better??
i'm still waiting to hear yur explaination as to what the US constitution has to do with any of this. you brought it up. you said the US justice system is obligated to presume innocence, and guilt must be proven..... how does any of this have anything to do with the US justice system??

As I said it isnt a right based in the constitution, its a right passed down by tradition, it originates from English Common Law and has the same standing over there as it does over here. It was a Supreme Court ruling in the 1890's
In fact a lot of European countries have the same ruling, the burden of proof being with the accusor.
In Assange's case complaint were made then withdrawn and later investigations were reinstigated, amusingly enough shortly after he disclosed he intended to publish certain US documents, I suppose that could be coincidence, eh?
The Swedish police wanted to speak to him over the allegations, he volunteered to surrender himself to them for questioning provided they disclosed all pertinent information they had in advance so he would be able to defend himself against the allegations.
The Swedish Police refused to do that and issued a European Arrest Warrant for his extradition to Sweden, he surrendered to the British Police before any sort of arrest warrant was issued in the UK. Hardly the actions of a guilty man.
Yet you insist he has committed crimes. What proof are you privy to the rest of us are not?
Interestingly enough Sweden hasnt as yet charged Mr Assange with anything and as such the arrest warrant issued isnt worth the paper it was printed on. The European arrest warrant should, by law, be used only to prosecute or to enforce a sentence. Serious though the allegations may be, there is no basis to extradite Mr Assange, unless for the purposes of conducting a criminal prosecution.
The Swedish Prosecution Service through the government has now made formal extradition application so he can be interviewed.
A hammer versus nut situation really when the Swedish police could simply ask the British police to interview him and take a statement, or they could send Swedish police over to interview him, and then determine whether to charge him.
So who or what are pulling the strings of the Swedish?

That's not what you said at all. you can re-read what you said easily within this thread. Now you're just blatantly lying, you said nothing of the kind.
And on yur second point, i have shown no disrespect to anyone.
I have simply defended the US from many accusations in this thread, and let's remember, there is ABSOLUTELY NO CONNECTION to the USA AT ALL in the charges against Julian Assange The USA has absolutely NOTHING to do with his legal troubles.
I seem to be the only one in this thread thinking about the rights of the WOMEN who have been abused by this man, this megolomaniac. This sociopathic man ho was unheard of 3 weeks ago, these charges were laid against him by 2 women, long before anyone in America, or the UK had ever even heard his name before.
Let these women have their day in court! you are so focused on the rights of Julian Assange, what about the rights of these women that have been assaulted??
Considering Europe continues to sheild the child rapist Roman Polanski, it's no surprise Europe continues to protect sex criminals in this way.
Misogynist Europe must CHANGE.

You know that as fact? Is that just like you knew the contents of all the leaked documents? After all the US administration is so transparent and doesnt work behind the scenes eh?

Of course no one had heard of him more than 3 weeks ago.

Oooops kind of shot that one down.
However now he is all tied up within one country the US could ask for his extradition themselves couldnt they? Couldnt have worked out better for the US if they had planned this themselves.
Looks like the US will seek extradition as well however charging him could be unconstitional, the due process clause hasnt been tested throughout the US court system so he could fight the indictment from outside the US.
After all using US criminal charges against a non US citizen for something that didnt occur on US soil, where the accused had no intention of doing the crime on US soil etc, means the US is overstepping its bounds again.
Misogynist Europe? Do you understand where Sweden is? Or is it you are all upset because you feel this man has embarrassed the Good Ole US of A?

I'm sure these pictures of Julian looking so merry and free must make all the sex crime victims in europe feel great. If you assert your rights as a woman, being abused, against a popular man in europe, you know you'll not only be ignored, but also ridiculed and discredited. What a fantastic messege to send to women in Europe.
Berlusconi, Sarkozy, The Vatican... how many other cases can we cite of Europe choosing to let men that do some good things get away with being sexist misogynst pigs? what a fantastic continent!
TIME TO END PATRIARCHY IN EUROPE. NOW!

Yeah, let me know when you get your female president and more than a mere handful of women in congress.
Good to know the oppressed women of Sweden can relocate to Nebraska and get liberated. :rolleyes:
