The governments of the west as well as their corporate masters are all in bed with each other, lets not pretend they are separate entities.

he was not on US soil. He was in Iraq when the middle East when the info was sent. Like I said Assange actively assisted Manning by providing software for him to send the classified info. The US laws in question apply to Assange.

On this issue I'll agree with Xcathdra. It's a double edged view from your standpoint. If you view it as he's safe from our laws than he's an enemy of the state. You would want him to be granted into our legal system rather than gitmo.

Gitmo represents us breaking our own and international law. I agree with you on this one, because him and Snowden would parish in a car wreck. They would never see gitmo.
