My understanding is that Assange:
1) Isn't a US citizen
2) Had never set foot within the United States
3) Committed no acts that could be construed (even to idiots) as violating US law
It makes it a little difficult to genuinely extradite. More than likely there was a plan to use extraordinary rendition once he was off UK soil, but before he had arrived in Sweden.
- nullfield 3y agoThe problem, loosely, is that the US claims that the rules don’t apply to it. Not a citizen of the US? No problem-actually, all the better since it doesn’t have to follow “…”. The US pretends that its law extends and applies everywhere when it says so, damn the rules or consequences.
