"And BTW, ttbn, when did Assange ever threaten to commit suicide?".

If he didn't, why did the judge decide that he was likely to commit suicide if extradited? Does she have the right to say that he could/would/might commit suicide in such an important judgement it were not true? Would a judge slur a person's character in that way with no good reason? Did the judge invent the suicide possibility because she is an activist? Do you think before you squawk, Bronwyn?

Hasbeen, mein Fuhrer!

Will this be your Final Solution for Julian Assange?

I didn't say that there isn't a suicide risk. Clearly, there is. Most people would break after ten years of torturous and wrongful imprisonment. The point I made ... for those that can read and comprehend ... is that Assange did not 'threaten' suicide. Your implication that he deliberately made threats to take his life in order to gain sympathy is patently wrong.

Bronwyn,

Can you read? Or should I ask Can you comprehend what you read?

You're either 10 years old or 110 years old. I just can't make up my mind.

I have a more fundamental question;
Can a country have a law and then assert that a person, not in that
country, who assisted someone in that country to commit an offense
against that law is subject to that law.
How far can this go ? Can other staff at Wikileaks be guilty of
publishing the leaked information involved ?
Can the editors of the New York Times who also received and published
the information be prosecuted, it appears not.
So it seems that it is a crime to publish that information outside of
the US but it is not a crime for a US citizen to publish it in the USA !.

There is nothing wrong with my comprehension, Mr Opinionated. You need to make your point properly, instead of lazily resorting to patronising comments about my age and reading ability. We don't all blindly accept your every pronouncement ... you need to argue your case coherently if you're going to come anywhere near convincing skeptics like myself.
