When the life of a rat holds more freedoms and pleasures than its human competitor, a Democratic society has lost its way.

Jules should be freed because of the wonderful exposes that Wikileaks has done about Russian war atrocities in Ukraine.

All those operatives that Jules exposed who were killed wont become undead because Jules has been cowering from justice. It is the ultimate travesty of justice to pardon those who hide from it.

Sadly all the author seems to care about is journalism.

What if Assange did not happen to be a journalist? Is it right to treat anyone like this?

There's Assange abused and persecuted for what, who knows. Then there is Trump who incited insurrection in the same country, causing death, but he goes free as a bird, in fact Trump gets richer for his actions. Typical of American justice!

Dear Paul,

Why do we need to discuss America?
They are crazy, all right, but we are not American nor can we do anything about America.

The thing is, this fellow Australian is being held in Britain, presumably a saner country, he was never an American citizen/resident nor been in America at the time of the alleged crimes. There is no reason whatsoever why he should be subjected to American law - otherwise any of us could be just as well subjected to Saudi law and extradited to Saudi-Arabia for breaking their Islamic modesty code!

Under these circumstances, why has Australia failed to send a naval commando mission to save him and bring him back home many years ago while he was still under bail at a seaside location?
