Strange, until today I was pretty ambivalent towards Assange. Yes, what he was doing is I think the "natural" course of events - data will become more available, hiding secrets much harder and for shorter amounts of time.<p>But, for his personal fate, I was, well, ambivalent.<p>Now, however, I actively want him to not stand trial in Sweden (and certainly not end up rerouted to the USA.) I would prefer a method where he does face his accusations in a properly constituted court (Brussels perhaps?), but right now, I lack all trust in USA's approach to extradition when a War on X is involved.<p>Bush Jr has a long legacy - the beacon of Truth and Justice in the world, and guess what, I don't trust them.<p>Strange.
