Regarding your comment about how the entire ruling centers on this one point, would this mean all the US would have to do to get it overturned is pinky promise they won't throw Assange in solitary? What if they then put him in solitary anyway?
- Wowfunhappy 6y ago> What if they then put him in solitary anyway? Nothing, but now you've potentially damaged diplomatic relations with an ally. Countries generally (!) try to keep their promises to each other, or they won't be considered reliable in the future. Just like individuals.

- TedDoesntTalk 6y ago> you've potentially damaged diplomatic relations with an ally. The UK has done exactly that by denying extradition to the US.
- rvx80 6y agoOne wonders if there is not some element of 'tit-for-tat' in response to the Anne Sacoolas / Harry Dunn affair at play here.
- YawningAngel 6y agoI'm sure Anne Sacoolas will be presenting herself at the Old Bailey forthwith?
