Will it be difficult to prove the case while hes hiding in the embassy? nt	cstanleytech	Oct 2012	#1
csta - how is he hiding. We know where he is	SESKATOW	Oct 2012	#3
Fine. How difficult will it be to prove the case while he is refusing to leave the embassy?	cstanleytech	Oct 2012	#9
Refusing to leave the embassy	SESKATOW	Oct 2012	#41
Lets see	cstanleytech	Oct 2012	#57
he has said	SESKATOW	Oct 2012	#82
Hey, the doubt you cast was on him doing it which I have shown he did do.	cstanleytech	Oct 2012	#106
You can claim yet again "that legally they cannot agree to that term",	ronnie624	Oct 2012	#110
and sweden has form	SESKATOW	Oct 2012	#116
there is no good reason why sweden cant question him in london	SESKATOW	Oct 2012	#115
I imagine the plaintiff would be Wikileaks, not Assange.	JDPriestly	Oct 2012	#108
The title though was "Julian Assange bids to sue Julia Gillard" not	cstanleytech	Oct 2012	#146
But it is really about Wikileaks, not just Assange.	JDPriestly	Oct 2012	#170
Yes however it was Assange who hired the lawyer. nt	cstanleytech	Oct 2012	#171
Maybe because he wants to know for sure what his legal status is in Australia.	JDPriestly	Oct 2012	#173
But see I dont dislike him, I just dont believe that this is a vaste conspiracy against him.	cstanleytech	Oct 2012	#174
Unless they want to establish legal precedent that will intimidate the press. That is totally	JDPriestly	Oct 2012	#183
I see alot of conjecture there without anything solid though.	cstanleytech	Oct 2012	#184
All the US has to do is to promise everyone that they consider Wikileak's activities to be as much	JDPriestly	Oct 2012	#212

How would you know if they're just 'protecting themselves' or...	randome	Oct 2012	#219
Ok lets break this down.	cstanleytech	Oct 2012	#215
How is it defamation?	treestar	Oct 2012	#2
in a word - yes!!!!!	SESKATOW	Oct 2012	#4
Australia law is as strange in this as United States law is...	MrMickeysMom	Oct 2012	#5
Why doesn't he go home?	wtmusic	Oct 2012	#8
Oh, you found evidence that he is to be deported to the US? Link please. nt	cstanleytech	Oct 2012	#11
Here ya go.	wtmusic	Oct 2012	#14
Funny how all the "news" articles like this show up in "commentary" and "opinion" sections?	George II	Oct 2012	#16
Who said it was news?	wtmusic	Oct 2012	#17
Obviously the poster since this is in "Late Breaking News" !!!!	George II	Oct 2012	#22
You're confused	wtmusic	Oct 2012	#23
No, I'm not confused - reread the first post of mine to which you replied:	George II	Oct 2012	#24
OK I'm thinking...gimme a second. nt	wtmusic	Oct 2012	#25
Just because he fears he "may" be charged with a crime isnt evidence that he has been charged.	cstanleytech	Oct 2012	#26
Ah, so he should step outside and see whether he's going to face the death penalty in the US...	wtmusic	Oct 2012	#29
The streets of London would be mighty empty if everyone was as paranoid as him.	George II	Oct 2012	#32
No kidding! This moron thinks they're actually out to get him.	wtmusic	Oct 2012	#35
If they were there waiting for him to leave, don't you think they'd be looking AT the building??	George II	Oct 2012	#47
You have a point there, but who knows how long they've been cooling their heels there.	freshwest	Oct 2012	#80
Are you suggesting that the guards are standing there like the guards at the factory	JDPriestly	Oct 2012	#109
I'm not suggesting anything...	George II	Oct 2012	#117
It comes from the statement about what the guards are doing in front of the Ecuadorian Embassy in	JDPriestly	Oct 2012	#130
They don't look very eager to do anything. 'Just doin' my job, Sir.'	freshwest	Oct 2012	#79
No, he should step out and do what he agreed to do in the first place when he was granted bail	cstanleytech	Oct 2012	#58
yikes..	BetterThanNoSN	Oct 2012	#118
The claim he might be "disappeared" is imo complete and utter BS.	cstanleytech	Oct 2012	#136

I'll take that for a "yes". nt	wtmusic	Oct 2012	#102
If you pull it all together, yeah. But few of the writings on Assange, pro or con, are objective.	freshwest	Oct 2012	#86
You don't think US breaches of international law are an embarrassment?	wtmusic	Oct 2012	#90
Embarrassing to who? Me? Yeah, if I was in charge. Were they to Bush? Was slavery an embarrassment	freshwest	Oct 2012	#95

So it's your contention that these news sites just pulled all this out of their ass?	99th_Monkey	Oct 2012	#148
It isn't a news article unless it references corroborated documents.	randome	Oct 2012	#149
Your painstaking denial and selective myopia regarding Assange is duly noted. ~nt	99th_Monkey	Oct 2012	#150
Well. So much for debating points. Aspersions are easier to throw about, I suppose.	randome	Oct 2012	#151
