Will WikiLeaks unravel the American 'secret government'?

[Peter Lemkin]

I suspect what we are seeing here are the arguments his lawyers will use to resist extradition.

But my own guess is that he probably would die in the US if extradited. Probably in prison in a brawl, or similar....

I agree...he would likely not even make it to trial [if they even were to grant him a trial...now an 'extended privilege' of the Empire to the few - unlike as the Constitution mandates to all!

I also have to disagree with Assange that the UK wouldn't extradite him....the Poodle does as asked....for a biscuit and to not be put in the 'doghouse'. Democracy, Truth, Justice, International-UK-US Law be damned! What he says is true...IF [and ONLY IF] the Sheeple of the UK raise a very vocal 'stink' would he not be deported. It is not up to legal decisions - but politics and the UK [sorry if I offend anyone] is only IMO second to the USA in violating international law and norms.

I am also worried about Manning's chances of survival if he was and even if he was not the source of some of the Wikileaks materials. We are now in the stage, similar to the early days of the Brown Shirts, when deaths came suddenly, without rule of law, and without accountability.........ah, yes, there are the vineyard of 'fig-leaves'...but they are only that.
