Do we agree:
   1. The US has requested that he be extradited
   2. The UK is currently holding him (and has been for 2 years) while
   Assange appeals the extradition request
   So he's by every legal and semantic definition in the UK prison by
   choice.  He can allow himself to be extradited to the US at any time.
   Now, it's true that he would prefer not to be in any prison.  But it
   feels like the US has a reasonable case against him that should be
   evaluated by a court (and the UK agrees).  Unless you feel there is
   literally no law that he could reasonably be said to have broken --
   such as aiding and abetting a fugitive by helping Snowden hide his
   tracks while escaping, or collaborating with a convicted felon (Chelsea
   Manning) in publishing state secrets?  I'm sure you would think that he
   has a reasonable defense against those, and if so, he should do great
   in court.  But do you believe the court has truly no reasonable case to
   even hear?
