should have gone to court, claimed first amendment and made it a trial on free speech. made all about him instead.

Maybe he wasnt all that keen of getting locked up and getting suicided, which is a very real possibility.

If you leak thousands of top secret things that embarrass the US government you have zero chance of getting a fair trial.

:rolleyes: only in his and tin foilers heads. cf Manning, done the time and out.

on that subject, i recall Assange dumped Manning and withheld funds raised for defence. along with dumping on those who posted bail for him. and pissed off the Ecuadorians.

The main difference between tin foilers and mainstreamers is that tin foilers are well aware of what intelligence agencies are capable of doing.

USA was always going to beat up on Assange, very sadly. If the fake rape thing don't get ya, they'll still find a way to send you to jail for 80 years. Disgusting state of affairs :rolleyes:

The smartest thing Julian Assange did was to try and conflate himself and Wiki Leaks as one thing.

There seems to be a lot of woman he has hurt in his past hopefully they get their day in court but, I suspect the US aren't really interested in that.

He would have been in an orange track suit in Guantanamo Bay before you could say 'my, that's a smashing blouse you're wearing'.

And I don't even like the bloke :shrug:
