Would any one really trust the due course of law argument after the Kim Dotcom incident. Basically it can now be argued that the US can get who ever it wants from where ever they are for what ever their crimes are.
- tptacek 14y agoThat being the case, what does it matter what country Assange is in? If it's all the same be he in New Zealand, Sweden, or the UK, shouldn't he be required to face charges in Sweden?
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoOne possible explanation is it would be harder to fight US extradition if he's under arrest in Sweden or jailed.
- tptacek 14y agoSee rest of thread. The whole article is about refuting that idea (/"misconception").
- philwelch 14y agoKim Dotcom's situation isn't that unusual. To whatever extent law enforcement overstepped their bounds, due process will eventually prevail. He's still in New Zealand after all.
