That's a very truth light puff piece by Shipton fans Foxy. You would do better reading the case presented at his extradition hearing. The Shipton story has changed from "He's done nothing wrong." to "He's harmed no one." to "He's done nothing in America's jurisdiction.". You could do well to look at some of the evidence against him. He has a case to answer and may not be the innocent hero as he presents to his fans.

Hi Fester,

I try to use sources that have minimal editorializing
of content and are rated high due to factual
reporting (due to proper sourcing and a clean fact
check record). My latest link from "Reporters
Without Borders: Reporters sans Frontieres" on
Assange presenta a fair assessment.

He made a poor choice going to the Ecuadorian embassy.
He should've gone to the Russian embassy.

Do I think the argument that he gave up the names of US assets is valid?
- Well I don't whether or not he actually did that or not.
If he did, it was certainly reckless, but the US would've known what Wikileaks released the moment they released it, and it was their job to then get these people out of harms way if their identities were compromised.
I'm not sure that anyone actually was killed because of Wikileaks releases or not.
It's been quite a while since FISA Warrants, Crowdstrike, Pussy hats and 'Deplorables';
- I can't remember all of the finer details without a good refresher.

Reuters are good, but you get it from the horse's mouth if you look at the court transcripts.

"In their written submissions, lawyers for the U.S. said their case against him was "consistently and repeatedly misrepresented" by Assange's legal team.
They said he was not being prosecuted for publication of the leaked materials, but for aiding and conspiring with former U.S. Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning to unlawfully obtain them, then disclosing names of sources and "putting those individuals at grave risk of harm"."

Assange has overstepped his role of journalism by the way he sourced his evidence. He deserves Guantanamo and not Acapulco.

Dear Fester,

«They said he was not being prosecuted for publication of the leaked materials, but for aiding and conspiring with former U.S. Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning to unlawfully obtain them, then disclosing names of sources and "putting those individuals at grave risk of harm"."»

Let's assume he did all that - where was he at the time of committing the above?

Did he break the laws of the country(s) he was in at the time?

Was he ever an American citizen?

Did he ever even visit the United States of America?

If despite of committing no crime in the countries we are in, and despite of having no relationship with a given country, one could still be extradited to that country, then we are all in big big trouble, because at every moment, each one of us must be breaking multiple laws of one or more countries that we may not have even heard of!
