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."

Yes ! The US is evil. After all, just like all those leftist states, the evil, gun-loving, religion-clinging US is executing prisoners at a rate so high they don't need to produce dog food anymore. Rightist economics called this "efficient market-based use of excess meat resources".
Bush and Obama's dogs is are not fans though. They likes the fat prisoners better. Daddy says the sause is lead-based and is good for their bones.
So not it's not news. It's a "hey here's an idiot doing some US-bashing, let's give him free publicity !" story. Half the frontpage stories are these days.
Because, you know, sarah palin, rush limbaugh, fox news, tea party, etc.
> "prominent figures have implied... that he should be executed" Uh huh... Since when did Palin start making policy decisions again?
One of the people Palin put under the cross-hairs in a political ad, Rep. Giffords, just got shot in Arizona. And I honestly don't think Palin intended that as a physical threat of violence, but she has tons of crazies as followers and was warned by Rep. Giffords that doing stuff like that is a bad idea for a person with as many crazy followers as her.
And you don't seriously think that someone, somewhere is crazy enough that they would shoot him when they pretty much have the support of the Republican party? Heck, they have the support of half the Democrats, too, it seems.
why do you cower? what are you afraid of?
you're completely pathetic.

There SHOULD be some outrage at their "rape" charges.
What's next, bitch doesn't come and it's rape?

Jewboy.

I have a much lower opinion of dictatorships than the US but let's face facts - for a long time, the US has been an instigator, inciter and invader in many countries, ostensibly in the name of fighting Communism. Before you criticize bad guys like Saddam, who are or were evil assholes, the US has supported plenty of murdering fucks when it suited their purpose - Manuel Noriega, for example. Ironically, it has also subverted its most cherished
And, just about every time I'm willing to cut America some slack or raise my opinion of the US, I find out more crap.
The latest one ( although it's been around for a long time ) is Fort Benning's finest educational institution, the School of the Assassins.
Since the US seems to have so many problems at home, why don't you try this for a generation - recall all your troops, close fucking Guantanamo Bay ( you are in violation of the "agreement" that was forced upon Cuba way back), stop meddling in other countries politics and try to find ways to teach geography to your citizens that don't involve bombings and troop deployments.
Pain is merely failure leaving the body
So you see no moral or ethical problems with replacing their homegrown tyranny with your own tyranny? In Iraq, first it was an outright military dictatorship, now it's a puppet government that can do whathever it wants as long as what they want to do does not inconvinience US business interests.
Bringing in business interests, US or other, is exactly what Iraq needs. This will do more good than any other thing we could possibly come up with now. I know that people like to bash the "evil capitalist", but it's the entrepreneurs that make the world a better place for all.
Some days I get the sinking feeling Orwell was an optimist.
get back in the field nigger-boy, or I won't let your wife have fun with the donkey again tonight.
i do not cower. you're an ignorant hypocrite.
i am michael kristopeit.
