Dear Mods, this long derailed crazy thread needs a lock please :) Thank you

Julian Assange was just arrested, he turned himself in

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/40544697/ns/us_news-wikileaks_in_security/

Figured with all the Wikileaks and Assange threads over the past few days that this seemed newsworthy for OT

If this is about the unprotected sex charge than ok but if they try to bring anything against him because of Wikileaks I am against this.

So this would be ironic: Someone gets ahold of the private documents and files being used by Assange's defense team, and posts those to Wikileaks.

So consensual unprotected sex puts you on Interpol's most wanted? Wonder how long they'll put him away on this charge if they can't charge him for espionage, I mean how long can they lock you up for consensual unprotected sex?lamprey263

[QUOTE="conistant"]Wait wait wait wait. The guy got arrested cause he didn't use a condom???????ayanami_rei

That is so damn weird and absurd and............:lol:.

I am expecting him to be delivered to Sweden next to deal with the rape case. horgen123

Such a shame, this guy was doing great work.
However, he stated that if anything should happen to him a document will be released with all the information he had, things that haven't even been posted yet. Like a full list of active spies and addresses.

It is blackmail.
But if it's either that or your life I think the choice is made pretty quickly.

U.S. Attorney General Holder is no doubt waiting. Anyone want to bet that Sweden already has a deal to extradite him to the U.S.?:lol:

Rape charges are the least of this creep's worries now. He has put the lives of every American and countless others around the world in danger. The real reason people support him is because they want to see more attack on the United States, much like on 9/11. Now is the time to draw lines in the sand and stand on the side of terrorism (Assange) or freedom (United States).GTA_fan999

oooh boy :roll:
I support Assange, so that makes me a terrorist that wants to see the US fall ?

For what crime did Assange commit that Holder could have against him that would even allow him to be extradited in the first place. Make a concrete case to how you think an extradition could ever happen of him to the US. State the laws he has broken.testfactor888

It's hilarious how the left in OT want Assange to go free, yet Obama wants him tried.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said Monday the Obama administration was considering using laws in addition to the U.S. Espionage Act to possibly prosecute the release of government information by WikiLeaks.

This means they will use the Espionage Act, the United States Code, plus any case law. It won't be hard at all.

But don't worry, we'll give him a lawyer, since PayPal froze $80K - damn, PayPal is so cool to have done that.:)

All Holder has to do is draw up the charges, and make a formal extradition request to Sweden. Sweden will do it as long as we promise not to strap him to Gumby.:P:lol:

what Wikileaks is doing should be looked at as a threat to everyone in the world, just not the U.S. of A. what they are leaking is the stuff you have nightmare about and trust me that is something that could start World War III. i am against the leaks and i don't want to see another 9/11. i honestly think Wikileaks should be shut down and Assange should be put in jail for a couple of years. that is how i feel about this and that is also my opinion.jediknight52501

OBLOK

I support Assange because he is exposing the corruption in the U.S government and the people have the right to know, seeing as you support the government so much and not the people, clearly you must be Anti-American, just like the terrorists. :roll:

Personally, I think Assange is an attention-seeker. At the same time, I don't think he's that big a deal, nor does he carry all the blame in this. If you're appalled that this material got out, then be mad at the person(s) in the government/military who gave it to Assange. If Assange didn't publicize it, some other wanna-be celebrity would have.

In regards to what he's doing, I think there's a middle ground when it comes to secrecy. People, organizations, and governments have to have secrets. You cannot have governmental integrity while also having complete transparency. Now, as to whether or not Assange has crossed the line, I really don't know. I haven't conducted a serious survey of the material on Wikileaks, and I don't anyone else in this thread has either. I've heard in the news that some of the material released could be used to identify local operatives in the Middle East. If so, that's irresponsible.

Indeed, it's not like he posted the nuclear launch codes on wikileaks...it's alot of diplomatic rules of engagement and the likes.

yeah the Government is corrupt, but what about the lives overseas, what about the people who defend this country, they are in more danger because of Assange and Wikileaks, don't you care about waht will happen to them or are you that niave?jediknight52501

Its incredible how you even acknowledge that the government is corrupt, yet at the same time won't acknowledge that the tropps are in fact in danger because of the what the government does.
