Re: Well he's a bit of an arse, but...
Er...
Yes,.
And the problem with that is...?
The *RUBBISH* was that he would be forcibly extradited against the UK's will, or attacked or shot or killed or something.
But charges were always possible and pretty much inevitable.
To apply them to him, they have to apply for extradition. To the UK. Who approve or not based on law. Like everyone else.
What you've done is taken his hyperbole and spin and applied it to "US charges someone who revealed US classified information, and then MAYBE asks for their extradition to face US charges". Which is totally non-shocking, non-news, and non-exciting.
Assange, however, was claiming that he'll be "extraordinarily renditioned" or murdered. Which has been utter tripe. And that's obvious because the bloke is stuck in a VERY VERY public place that he cannot ever leave and gives interviews out of his balcony... hardly the actions of someone who fears being sniped.
