| RedInker said: Assange is a prick and should stop cowering in an embassy and go to Sweden to face trial. Innocent people dont seek asylum in foreign embassies. We dont need this site anyway as all documents will eventually get made public under the freedom of information act. Goverments do need to keep some secrets in the same way business' do. |
The hundreds of people who seek asylum in Europe and America from the middle east aren't innocent?
He didn't sexually assault anybody. The crimes with which he is charged are not a part of any sensible definition of sexual assault. But that's not the point. Sweden and Britain would not be this obsessive about prosecuting a low level sexual assault. They would not threaten to storm an embassy. On top of that, Sweden refuses to guarantee that no further extradition will take place. Sweden has not refused an American extradition request for 12 years.
And no, not all government documents will become public. The trend in western society is very much away from government accountability and towards a powerful, clandestine and authoritarian government that monitors your Internet use and throws you in jail for four months on end without trial, on charges of "terrorism".
