U.S. may seek extradition of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange

 

why did you go to the police Julian?

 

he's not dumb. maybe he did it to take focus off his personal character and put it back on the leaks themselves?

Yeah, it could be that this is what he wants. But I doubt it, I think they mislead him into believing he wouldn't be arrested at the first meeting. Still, a court case could turn out well for him, or at least well for wikileaks, if he has a good lawyer. At least it will allow them to shine more light on the situation. I hate the way the media is spinning it right now. Even the more "liberal" news stations are making him look like an evil dude.

as of today, he has one of the best human rights lawyers in the world: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoffrey_Robertson

the europeans didn't seem to care when polanski raped that girl either... i guess those liberal faggots are ok with child fucking and rape, things that we do not tolerate in america. that's why they hate us--because we respect women, not rape them. well, they can keep hating! USA! USA!

this thread is now nominated for the annual facepalm awards.

I couldn't possibly have cared less about Wikileaks or Assange until I noticed he is a rapist. Now he's got my attention.

 

How come so many people are suckling at his nipples when he's a sex offender? Is this one of those left wing things?

it's pretty amazing how well these smear techniques work on a populace which does absolutely none of their own followup

what asshole inconsiderate person just merged these threads together? I could have sworn the stupid thread was separate from the other one.

edit: possibly one of the mods who was defending the arrest of Bradley Manning a coupe of weeks back? hmmmm

I managed to get into the site, but i reloaded just to be sure.

It should have been closed + a warning to the OP.

unmerge threads immedietly!

this is fucking history in the making god damnit! for gods sake, the rape accusations is an issue completely separate from the documents being leaked. both are incredibly important, and one issue (the rape issue) is being artificially pushed into the general wikileaks discussion as disinformation

merging the threads also plays into the hands of the controllers. it will also limit discussion on this extremely, important issue which again, is history in the making

these arent some god damned fred mcgriff thread you toss around here or there. this is our fucking future and our fucking government. if anything else, keep them apart so people have a better chance at knowing whats going on. we already have our governments suppressing information, we dont need our internet message board government to do it too.

seriously!

The goverment suggested that Joyrex merge these threads.

well let's try to look forward not backward (as obama said about torture) , we can't let a trollin' watmm mod ruin our whole thread

what the hell happened here ?

joyrex is fbi, pm for more details

open letter to julia gillard, australian PM, signed by 185 academics, lawyers and journalists:

  Quote

Dear Prime Minister,

 

We note with concern the increasingly violent rhetoric directed towards Julian Assange of WikiLeaks.

 

“We should treat Mr Assange the same way as other high-value terrorist targets: Kill him,” writes conservative columnist Jeffrey T Kuhner in the Washington Times.

 

William Kristol, former chief of staff to vice president Dan Quayle, asks, “Why can’t we use our various assets to harass, snatch or neutralize Julian Assange and his collaborators, wherever they are?”

 

“Why isn’t Julian Assange dead?” writes the prominent US pundit Jonah Goldberg.

 

“The CIA should have already killed Julian Assange,” says John Hawkins on the Right Wing News site.

 

Sarah Palin, a likely presidential candidate, compares Assange to an Al Qaeda leader; Rick Santorum, former Pennsylvania senator and potential presidential contender, accuses Assange of “terrorism”.

 

And so on and so forth.

 

Such calls cannot be dismissed as bluster. Over the last decade, we have seen the normalisation of extrajudicial measures once unthinkable, from ‘extraordinary rendition’ (kidnapping) to ‘enhanced interrogation’ (torture).

 

In that context, we now have grave concerns for Mr Assange’s wellbeing.

 

Irrespective of the political controversies surrounding WikiLeaks, Mr Assange remains entitled to conduct his affairs in safety, and to receive procedural fairness in any legal proceedings against him.

 

As is well known, Mr Assange is an Australian citizen.

 

We therefore call upon you to condemn, on behalf of the Australian Government, calls for physical harm to be inflicted upon Mr Assange, and to state publicly that you will ensure Mr Assange receives the rights and protections to which he is entitled, irrespective of whether the unlawful threats against him come from individuals or states.

 

We urge you to confirm publicly Australia’s commitment to freedom of political communication; to refrain from cancelling Mr Assange's passport, in the absence of clear proof that such a step is warranted; to provide assistance and advocacy to Mr Assange; and do everything in your power to ensure that any legal proceedings taken against him comply fully with the principles of law and procedural fairness.

 

A statement by you to this effect should not be controversial – it is a simple commitment to democratic principles and the rule of law.

 

We believe this case represents something of a watershed, with implications that extend beyond Mr Assange and WikiLeaks. In many parts of the globe, death threats routinely silence those who would publish or disseminate controversial material. If these incitements to violence against Mr Assange, a recipient of Amnesty International’s Media Award, are allowed to stand, a disturbing new precedent will have been established in the English-speaking world.

 

In this crucial time, a strong statement by you and your Government can make an important difference.

 

We look forward to your response.
