Interesting; My original comments on this thread were at the opposite end of the argument to that of Bridge. I just caught myself nodding in agreement with one of his posts.

This just won't do....

Very saddened to read Lizzie Cornish blindly defending the guy on the allegations of unlawful sex on the basis that his company does some good work in the political field.

If The USA wanted him, they had every opportunity to ask for extradition before now. If they still want him, neither UK nor Sweden will extradite on the terms Clinton et al have been spouting. Treason is a capital crime in many less civilised countries which is why more progressive countries such as UK and Sweden will never allow extradition where the threat of state murder is possible.

Luckily for Assange, the only country that could ever charge him with treason is Australia, and they a) are civilised (or at least domesticated) enough to not kill their citizens, and b) they are pissing themselves laughing that he is someone else's problem.
