Assange Could Face Execution Or Guantanamo Bay

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the exagerate-much dept.

An anonymous reader writes "WikiLeaker-in-chief Julian Assange faces the real danger of being executed or languishing in the US prison camp at Guantánamo Bay if, as a result of his extradition to Sweden, he ends up in the hands of the Americans, his lawyers argue. In a skeleton summary of Assange's defence, posted online, Assange's lawyers argue that it is likely that the US would seek his extradition 'and/or illegal rendition' from Sweden. In the United States 'there will be a real risk of him being detained at Guantánamo Bay or elsewhere,' his lawyers write."

    Reagan was a total douchebag, and one of the worst presidents ever. The right wing can attempt to deify him all they like, but even Bush Sr. was better than Reagan.

    Awww, muffin. It's tough when you have your cherished world view challenged, isn't it? Maybe what should really happen, is that you should go back to your little internet cave at huffingtonpost and you can spew your slander, distorted ideologies and hate speech with only certified like-minded individuals.
