he ain't goin nowhere. This is all just a publicity stunt. his donations were running low so he needed a way to get his name back in the papers to get more free cash, that's all this is.

He should change his name to Julian Kardashian.

You obviously don't know anything about what you are talking about.

You need to get to a computer why? Cause you need to google it? So you can't think of anything? So you are OUTRAGED by the wikileaks, but you can't even remember off the top of yur head anything that was important?? LOL

I need a computer because you asked for links which I can't give easily on my iPod

So there's no wrongdoing in either of those two links I gave? Ok then...

sorry, remind me which crimes were exposed. So Iraqi's torturing people is the US's fault? Wow, middle eastern countries torture people in their jails? shocker!!! Thank goodness the wikileaks showed that cause no body knew that was going on!!

If the US ignored it, then so did the rest of the world, so i don't see how that can be counted against the US specifically.

Gues what, they torture people in Chinese jails, North korean jails, and Cuban jails too!! is that the US's fault too? roll on.

Except you forget that the US had invaded and occupied Iraq at this time and the torture was being carried out right under their noses

What do you make of this one then? http://www.aljazeera.com/news/americ...449200569.html

The US didn't invade anyone. The coalition invaded Iraq to uphold UN sanctions against Iraq and afford the UN weapons inspectors protection so they could do their job properly after being blocked by Sadam Hussein's regime.

If the Americans arent running scared of Assanges wikileaks why are they so desperate to get their hands on him? surely if they have nothing to hide it doesnt matter.

umm, The American's are "desperate to get their hands on Assange"??? what? why are you saying that? The Americans have done absolutely NOTHING to try to get their hands on Assange. SO i have no idea what you are refering to.

What has America done to "try to get their hands on Assange"?

etc.

or


WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange has been granted asylum by Ecuador

[lostalex]

William Hague - Foreign Secretary (aka the British equivalent of Hillary Clinton):

"We will not allow Mr Assange safe passage out of the United Kingdom, nor is there any legal basis for us to do so. The United Kingdom does not recognise the principle of diplomatic asylum.

It is far from a universally accepted concept: the United Kingdom is not a party to any legal instruments which require us to recognise the grant of diplomatic asylum by a foreign embassy in this country.

Moreover, it is well established that, even for those countries which do recognise diplomatic asylum, it should not be used for the purposes of escaping the regular processes of the courts. And in this case that is clearly what is happening."

The justice department has already said they are exploring possible charges against wikileaks and assange regarding the release of diplomatic messages add to that the calls from some american politicians that he should be killed if that doesnt make it clear that they want him then i dont know what does the only problem they have is what to charge him with and how to make it stick.

Also it is the norm for an extradition to contain a rule of speciality which ensures that the person facing extradition can only face charges for the offence they are being extradited for and the swedish prosecutors have refused to include that in the extradition which leaves him open to further charges and extradition to a further country. Why would they not grant a rule of speciality if they dont intend to pass him on to the U.S.?

IC, so Americans doing investigations, researching things, gathering information, and not charging him with anything, never requesting to talk to him, never requesting extradition = Americans trying to get their hands on him???

lol, are you serious?

Of Course
that why I say sneak him out on a Cargo Plane
it can be done
and no one will know until they find him Live on CNN
from that Nation.

If Julian is being persecuted in any way then where are the Aussies?? after all he is an Australian citizen. If Julian was being unfairly targeted in any way then obviously the Australian government would be outraged and defending him. I don't hear anything from the Aussies though.

What does that tell you?? His own country doesn't even want anything to do with him. That should tell you everything you need to know.

Oh come on alex you were supposed to fill in the obvious! Because refusing to grant the rule of speciality enables them to pass him on into the hands of the U.S.

Wow you were quick to jump on the we are the victims train then.

Well if the US investigations show that he does have a case to answer for then he should be extradited to the US, that's how the justice system works, and he would obviously get a fair trial here. But so far the US has not requested he face any charges, so to presume he will is just ridiculous.

It's been 2 years now, i'm pretty sure if the US wanted him, they'd have said so by now.

The US is prosecuting the guy that actually leaked the cables, Bradley Manning, not Julian Assange. America already knows that Assange would be protected by freedom of speech laws in the US, they arn't wasting their time.

He is just using bigotry against the US to try to shield himself against his sexual assault charges. That's my honest opinion.

[lostalex]

No one should be under any illusions, he is seeking asylum for his sex crimes case, not for anything to do with wikileaks.

Equador is giving him asylum from rape allegations, there are no other allegations against him.

A live stream is up at the moment and somebody is attempting to put a policeman under citizens arrest it would be amusing if it wasnt such a sad state of affairs.

Another non-event being staged by non-entities, it would seem .....

The judiciary of Ecuador is laced with corruption, their laws restrict freedom of expression, they are regularly accused of Human Rights abuse and their police are famously corrupt. And yet they are being hailed by some as heroes by offering asylum to Assange so he is not sent to Sweden – SWEDEN – to face charges on sex crimes. It speaks volumes to me.
