Assange Could Face Execution Or Guantanamo Bay
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."
I have the very real possibility of owning the Golden Gate Bridge according to the nice gentleman who just came by!
With the way Sweden made their rape laws, he is lucky that they don't have a death penalty for men saying hello to women first.

"So it cuts their IQ by 20 points"
They can get those points back by simply flipping their ballcaps around, so the brim is in the front.
There was a "do not insert hand/foot/body part" warning card shoved into the blender we bought last night. I'd say a warning on the front of 1984 wouldn't be all that batty...
I spent a second thinking about what body part you could insert that wasn't hand or foot. I immediately doubled over in sympathetic pain. Well played, sir.
Slashdot should avoid using such needlessly inflammatory headlines.
You must be new here.
Not that it has ever happened before, but since anything negative said about the USA is automatically believed and embraced I think we can all agree his best defense is that if he is sent to the USA he will likely be dipped in peanut butter, and dropped in a pen full of grizzly bears. Cuz, we do that sorta thing. ;-)
(If at first you don't succeed, do it different next time!)
one could look at bright side of this issue; at Guantanamo Bay, Julian would get better health care than over 300 million Americans.
Why do you insist on looking at the US in such absolute, black and white terms? Isn't it possible that we are good in certain areas, but bad in others
Of course that's possible. But in the whole Wikileaks saga, can you name one thing that your country got right?
We haven't nuked anyone over this, yet. So there's that.
