- narag 8y agoThat's my understanding too. But USA authorities have a history of trying to expand their reach as much as possible and there are several interpretations that they could resort to. As an example, they could say that Assange was an accomplice of Manning, that was convicted of a crime commited in the USA. Remember when Evo Morales' plane was stopped and searched in Spain (sigh) to catch Snowden? And that's a head of state violation! Or the CIA flights, etc. You can complain as much as you want but that's a fait accompli situation.
