Yes, you're right. But the pressure to do so comes from the US all the same... You're right that what's happening in UK with Assange is very disturbing... I followed Craig Murray's blog posts.

Assange is in prison in the UK because he skipped bail.

  That's not what I am upset about. First of all, why had he to skip this bail at all. All of his suspicions about the first sex offense case being a pretense to extradite him were confirmed. And then, the way he is treated in the UK tribunal, like a slaughterer scum of the worst kind, denied all dignity, is revolting. If you had not seen the Craig Murray reports, I would warmly advise you to give them a look, they are rich in details.

Well you have to be special kind of reckless to be in US friendly jurisdictions when pissing off the State Department ... Assange wanted to play with the big boys. He got his wish granted.

  If I understand well, you are essentially saying "well done". Let us agree to disagree.

    No. I mean if you spill Uncle Sam secrets and make a high ranking politician lose face - make sure you are in a country where USA cannot reach you.

      UK was supposed to be such a place. At least UK's law was telling that. Also, smearing shit on the face of prime ministers, presidents, all the highest ranking politicians you can imagine, is just the game of free press in a democracy. You are free to chose your government only because you are free to know what they did wrong (or right). The fact to retaliate violently against that is totally contrary to the fair game supposed by the establishment of democracy, and also it does not restore the lost face of the politician. You are saying that was predictable. If you could do so, great, your guess was better than most people. Assange himself is quite paranoid yet he could not predict this trap.
