I've took on board the replies to my last post.
I think if I found a file that made me so disgusted the killing of innocent men, women and children, the least of my thoughts would be to the people that are part of it.
My position is the UK should extradite him back to Australia. It shouldn't be a British decision of what to do with someone elses citizen. I think it's a dangerous precedent.
A lot of the people Assange put at risk with his "release everything (US related at least)" mantra were nothing to do with any war crimes, and were often civilians.
Things like the names of known homosexuals in countries where being gay is at the very least illegal, if not dealt with by the death penalty, names of people whose only crimes were to do things like help wounded soldiers etc,
I suspect a lot of people would have more sympathy for him if he'd taken any responsibility for his actions and given any thought to what he was doing other than "release everything, it's not our fault if innocent people get killed because we won't bother reading the documents".
He likes to have his fans think he was "exposing war crimes", but most of what he was releasing was nothing of the kind.
I would have had more sympathy for him if he hadn't played hide and seek in the embassy for years trying to run out the clock on the Swedish claims, especially as it would have been much harder for him to have been transferred from Swedish custody to the US - he did his attempt to avoid Swedish justice in possibly the worst country in the world to do it in if you had anything to fear from the US.
