It seems clear that the US would always try to make a case against him. I'm not sure how anyone could think otherwise.

- Cthulhu_ 6y agoMaking a case is just the public show, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if instead they just wanted to make him disappear. They know that he / wikileaks have got more material / dirt on the US though, and that if he were to disappear that material would be unlocked (dead man's switch). So for now the illusion of due process is maintained.
- linuxftw 6y agoThe US doesn't need to make a case against him. They just need to make an accusation in most cases, and that's enough to extradite. What you're missing is, the US has the ability to declare him an enemy combatant, and stuff him in Guantanamo Bay. The US claims there is no right to due process there. The US Gov could lock him away forever with no trial and that's that.
