(33,688 posts)act of war. The only way any of this makes any sense is if the end game is to put Assange in the hands of the US.
For some decades now the US has acted as if a violation of US law anywhere in the world means that person can be seized and imprisoned even if that person has never set foot in a US jurisdiction. This began with the imbecilic "war on drugs" and was expanded substantially during Chimpleton's "war on terra."
The point of all this crap is to get Assange either in Sweden, which would ship him to the US, or in London, where he would be shipped to Sweden and then to the US despite the fact that Assange has no contact with the US whatsoever. He will then be disappeared, renditioned for torture, clapped in to Gitmo or "suicided." At best, he would receive the same inhumane and torturous treatment Bradley Manning has received.
Connect the dots, people. DUers are too smart as a group to pretend that this isn't what's going on here.
