Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, is expected to appear in a UK court tomorrow!

And so much for the Australians:

AUSTRALIAN diplomats have no doubt the United States is intent on pursuing Julian Assange, Foreign Affairs and Trade Department documents obtained by the Herald show.
This is at odds with comments by the Foreign Affairs Minister, Bob Carr, who has dismissed suggestions the US plans to eventually extradite Assange on charges arising from WikiLeaks obtaining leaked US military and diplomatic documents.
The Australian embassy in Washington has been tracking a US espionage investigation targeting the WikiLeaks publisher for more than 18 months.


The declassified diplomatic cables, released under freedom of information legislation, show Australia's ambassador, the former Labor leader Kim Beazley, has made high level representations to the US government asking for advance warning of any moves to prosecute Assange.


Briefings for the Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, and Senator Carr also suggest the Australian government has no in-principle objection to extradition.

The Australian government is playing a totally duplicious game. Assange is right not to trust them. They are spineless and will wilt at the first sign of displeasure from the US. I'm pleased Ecuador called them for what they are. Bob Carr is a useless FM. He has a well known love of thing US. When he was out of politics he was against foreign intervention in Libya. Now he is back in politics he has been given his new script and he follows that to the letter. When ever way the wind blows.
