Agronomist,

From the Guardian article:

"Is their anyone in their right mind who believes that the UK government would make such an unprecedented threat if this were just about an ordinary foreign citizen wanted for questioning - not criminal charges or trial - by a foreign government?"

If it looks like a duck....

Not so Great Britain?
To even consider entering the Embassy is both dangerous and just maybe the repercussions will do great damage.
I too am greatly concerned, do we all know the nature of this sexual assault?
The fact is it was sex without a condom!
Mutually agreed.
Until both women, days after talked about it and ,then said it was sexual assault!
Hardly.
America land of the free, can not be trusted on this issue, it took folk by CIA plane to other country's and tortured them.
I share the view if Assange went to answer this feeble charge he may face life in prison, or given the increasingly frantic nature of some Americans a death sentence.
America, without delay or second thought would take such as weakileaks prints if it was of use to them.

Which, of course, should read Sven-"Erik" Alhem.

I think he's nothing but a smarty, with no interest in anything or anyone but himself & a quick quid to be made.

I don't think he is worth the consideration of real people, & definitely not any effort by our government.

He matches Corby, not worth feeding, & not worthy of all the sympathy.

Hasbeen - Have to disagree for toooooo long Governments and organizations have been hiding what they are really doing from the people who elected them. His organization at least started to erode the secrecy of how Governments really operate and they are scared stiff about there dirty secrets coming out. So I for one support him.
