Julian Assange

Admittedly, he looks creepy those pics in the paddy wagon, a bit of a maverick, with major celebrities falling over themselves to defend, putting up hard cash. I found the whole legal proceedings rather strange, What is the court all about, demanding Two Hundred Thousand pounds in cash ? imagine asking anyone, to transport such a large sum of money, that sounds the wishes of a gangster, rather than the arm of British justice. .

Not quite sure of the difference Wills, I thought that the extradition proceedings, as having an International aspect to it, then it would be British. Would it have made any difference, if it was held in Scotland ?

The guy is a complete "Strange Ranger". He's obviously very intelligent but he's a bit detached and that's a worrying sign that he might not be the "full shilling".

I'm pretty certain the charges are politically motivated but he's holding a smoking gun at the head of virtually every western government so what did he expect.

The revelations have been, well, not much of a revelation. What upset me about the whole thing was that it made that slack-jawed ne'er do well Gordon Brown look good. It also revealed the true nature of American hostility towards and complete derision of Muslim countries. This will have filled the Jihadhi ranks with new recruits for our boys in Afghanistan to deal with and that is not good.

Asange should have realised that this leak was too dangerous to be released into the wild. He should have co-operated with the authorities and returned it all. A lot of people are now going to die because of the ill thought out comments in private conversations between US diplomatic service personnel being leaked to the press. Plain Irresponsible. I would be worried if I was him, because our US allies are not averse to abducting people they don't like and taking them to Guantanamo Bay for a chat.
