Julian Assange can be extradited to the US, court rules

Your original comment refers to the fact that the USA generally treats detainees poorly, not that it "brazenly breaks many other assurances it makes in this regard".

You haven't convinced me why the court is wrong to believe the USA on this point. You just seem to repeatedly state that it's ridiculous without saying why.

But anyway, ultimately we will be able to see whether or not the USA does let Assange (if convicted) serve his sentence in Australia or not.

not that it "brazenly breaks many other assurances it makes in this regard".

Are you referring to the CIA's famous "We don't do torture" promise, here?

Or the implicit promise to the peoples of Iraq and Afghanistan that they would be treated humanely when they came in contact with our armed forces and their surrogates? And most certainly when they ended up in our ... detention centers?

Or to the migrants detained by the ICE, who were told they were merely being "detained"... not that they would one day find an officer

"sitting on her like one would on a horse", with his "erect penis on her butt"

to quote just one of 1,224 reports of recent sexual abuse at these facilities?
