Assange could face execution or Gitmo, lawyers claim (thinq.co.uk)

I don't see an execution in the picture. Politicians would know better than to make him a martyr.

Could he wind up in Gitmo? Potentially...that's certainly a valid concern.

Should he? I'd rather not get in to that. To some he's a hero, to others a villain. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle.


Ah yes, moral equivalence. "Some say this, some say that. Thus, they are equally valid." :/


Not really that, but people either love him or hate him, and there's usually little to be gained by trying to convince someone to change their position in matters such as these.

It doesn't change my opinion, but I don't feel like getting downvoted today.
