Peter Lemkin Wrote:Julian Assange bail decision made by UK authorities, not SwedenJulian made a serious bummer of a decision in expecting anything different from the UK - it's not called 'perfidious Albion' for nothing you know. If he really does go all the way in his extradition fight, it will give the US ample time to dot the i's and cross the t's on legislation (or a Grand Jury indictment) that will seal the deal on his extradition to the US.
His best bet is to say OK I'll go back to Sweden and face whatever charges they bring right now - since they haven't brought any yet anyway. Then bugger off to Iceland or one of the South American countries that are a little less cosied up to Uncle Sam. My understanding is that Sweden takes a rather more realistic view of what constitutes Cruel and degrading treatment -( ie keeping people like Bradley in solitary for 7 months and counting) which would probably provide better grounds for appeal against a US extradition request too - though what that's worth in these days of US Mafia-like hegemony is anyone's guess.
Solid legal advice is what he needs and I'm far from certain that his present Zionist dominated firm is his best bet. It looks to me like he is at serious risk of becoming an arch-Patsie, right up there with all those other lone nuts.
