  > So Assange is booking a flight to the US now? Doubt it, he'd need to persuade the US government to seek his extradition first then convince the UK government that the US has preference over the existing EAW. That's quite a lot of persuading to get done just to ensure that a tweet comes to fruition. My guess is that he'll either keep schtum or come up with a narrative about how US Government still cares enough about the Manning leak to want to extradite him. I'm glad that Obama has done this but I don't think this is great for Assange. His argument is quite a bit weaker now I think.
