You were lied to - Assange is in the target of a large, highly profitable military-industrial-complex. Actual justice is not on the table; anyone paying attention has known this for years.

Everything is being done in pretty strict accordance with the law.

US believes he committed a serious crime and as such it's expected they would seek extradition just like with every other person who does so.

Everything besides the war crimes he uncovered? Yeah, sure.

He dropped the pants of high government officials and this is simply a case of revenge. Let's call it what it is.

Aren't we reading about the US government denying that he has 1st amendment rights when the US government is restricted from denying those rights by the 1st amendment? The amendment doesn't specify US citizens get a positive right, it limits the government itself

This is what I find hilarious about the sorts of comments you're replying to. It doesn't make sense unless you refuse to think about it and apply a modicum of consistent logic to it.

Woah there, went full tinfoil hat on us for a moment.

Agree, their intentions are probably to set an example and will act aggressively on Assange as much as possible, but they are still bound by their laws.. And in turn; 'justice'.
