And Julian, of course, is in the Ecuadorian Embassy. One can only imagine the kind of pressure being brought to bear (bare? I dunno) in the UK government that they would threaten (or pretend to threaten) some sort of violation. For that matter, why in hell did they even send token support into Iraq? The only thing I can figure out is that they fear American consumers somehow. I just can't imagine why the reasonably sensible British would seem to bow and scrape to Amerikkkan pressure. With Assange, it's just a damned extradition order to Sweden for God's sake. What the F is going on here? Are USA-ian TLA bigshots taking Assange personally and calling in all and every favor? Let me hereby officially proclaim (within the Cypherpunks Governance manual) that Assange is a fuckin' rockstar. Yeah, you know every rockstar is in it for the glory and chicks, but he's still a fuckin' rockstar.
