So the whole premise of sending him to Sweden was just a ruse to get him under control of a US ally and have him renditioned. I'm not even surprised.

Imagine the effect on journalism if here were charged and forced to prove his innocence for doing nothing illegal!

Journalists are already under attack for doing their jobs.

Assange will never stand trial. He's almost certain to die in custody from a sudden heart attack or maybe he'll commit suicide in his cell like so many other inconvenient people conveniently do.

That'll learn those pesky journalists who want to tell the truth!

Just have him sent to Saudi Arabia... They LOVE journalists.

The Saudis like their journalists tenderized and finely diced.

[llama66]

mmmmmm... tenderized journalist *drools*

[DrCaleb]

Then they pickle them in Vinegar!

He's not a journalist. He's a Russian spy and always has been.

Fine. Let's say he's a Russian spy.

Carrying out an extrajudicial execution on foreign soil is still a very bad move.

[Thanos]

Which isn't going to happen any more than it came close to occurring with Tommy Robinson. And if anyone whacks Assange it'll be the Russians tying up their own loose end before he starts singing like a canary about his simultaneous crossing-over connections between the Putin regime and the Trump 2016 campaign/Trump Org.

Not if you're the Saudi's they are basically like the honey badger... they do what they want.

[DrCaleb]

Secret charges from secret judges in secret courts. Not your Father's Soviet Union!

It's the only reason I still support that conceited prick; scum tends to whither and die when dragged into the light of day.

Not always. Sometimes they run into Marines who explain to them the fatal flaw inherent in that assumption.
