Assange Extradition on Hold Until U.S. Gives More Assurances

Tuesday, March 26, 2024

The WikiLeaks founder has been in a London prison since 2019. Judges asked the U.S., which wants to try him on espionage charges, for more guarantees about his treatment.

Personal Cheney for the war crimes they committed when they stupidly and maliciously and inhopes of profiteering from Iraq's oil than Assange who, as memory recalls, committed the heinous crime of telling Americans about the crimes against humanity that were being committed in our name. Did he sell secrets to an enemy? I don't recall him doing that.

Something happened to my first sentence above;

Personally, I'd be much more inclined to prosecute Bush & for the one million Iraqis killed in their unnecessary war for oil. They should be held accountable for lying us into war. It funny how the GQP today seems to be against helping Ukraine because of the expense after they voted to approve trillion dollar tax cuts for the 1% during that extended war crime we call "the Iraq war for oil", which it absolutely was though they were so stupid they didn't even get the oil.

Even if he didn't sell them giving them away for free is still a crime here.

So do we love Wikileaks this time or not?

Trumpy loves Wikileaks so I am inclined to not love Wikileaks.

But we do have too many secrets and that's not good for democracy.

None of the information he released had strategic value, no they wnted punish him for embarrassing Bush and his band of Fascists much the same as Putin does if anyone exposes crimes he and his Fascists do in Russia. I couldn't care less if Biden dropped the charges against Assange and charged Bush for lying us into war. Just because Dubya is out of office now doesn't mean he is gorgiven for the Iraq War and hopefully people will r that war and remind him how much he is hated because of it.

I question the legality of the US claims to try him for espionage. The party guilt of that was caught. He published the fruits of it to the world (I am sure at Russia's behest.) He isn't an American citizen and did not venture to America to collect the data he was provided. He is a foreigner, in a foreign country doing his thing. He isn't an American. He wasn't in America spying. He was arguably - at that time - a journalist. He was provided documents by a disillusioned serviceman. I think "Pentagon Papers".

Dude is a Russian stooge though.

Push him out a window.

I dare say that it had a lot of strategic value. It torqued a lot of our allies and sowed dissent.

I agree... And prosecute each and every warmonger that voted to give that administration cart blanche reign to carry it out.... oops, that would implicate your dear democrats too.
