There is a sealed indictment against Assange in the US. His US attorney has the documents regarding the GJ which show they are attempting to charge a Multiple Award Winning, International Journalist, Editor and Publisher under the epsionage act.
We are making fools of ourselves around the globe. He is a hero to most of the world, to Iceland whose crooked banksters his whistle blowers exposed. To Tunisians whose new President a former Human Rights activist jailed by our former friend and ally, the dictator Ben Ali successfully overthrown, has told Assange publicly that for the role he played in helping Tunisia to gain their freedom at last, he will always be welcome in Tunisia.
Throughout South America also, a region rising up against its oppressors and finally Democratically electing its own leaders, throwing out Western agitators, and beginning the process of prosecuting its own War Criminals, our former allies Assange is regarded as a hero.
And Africa, where again his work exposed corrupt leaders, for which Wikileaks received another reward, he is also regarded as a 'freedom fighter' like any journalist in an oppressive country.
WE have so many Dictator Friends around the world. Assange exposes Corrupt Dictators, and for that naturally, they hate him. It is sad that the US rather than be a part of the newly free world, sides with the oppressors when it comes to Assange and a truly free press.
He had every right to seek asylum once he found out that Sweden was lying about their legal system in his case, and that the US was seeking an indictment against him. The world cheered his escape as they always do when persecuted dissidents escape and are given sanctuary.
American sinks even further in the world's eyes by persecuting journalists and whistle blowers. We have no standing to accuse anyone else of doing so..
