Ignoring for the moment the merits of prosecuting Assange in the first place, I don't think you can really blame the government for the delay there, at least most of it.
- StanislavPetrov 4y agoLike the last 2 years, after the courts ruled that he should not be shipped to the US for prosecution, but he's been held in a dungeon waiting for the appeal from the US government to be ruled on?
- zerocrates 4y agoAssange's current status is that the UK has approved his extradition and he's appealing it. The US did appeal from a previous decision Assange had won blocking the transfer, and it won that appeal something around a year later. Again, if the position is that the whole prosecution is unjust, a mockery of the First Amendment, chilling to journalism and free speech, then fine. But saying the US is responsible for the delay in putting him on trial is strange to me.
