Re: Should Julian Assange be tried for his sexual assault allegations and his betraya

You do realise the key word in the first bit is allegations, if the Swedes had any definitive proof, they would've gotten the Poms would to extradite him already. And as for the second one, he didn't betray anyone either.

Depends how you define "betray". I'm sure someone, somewhere, feels betrayed at something I did at one point or another...

If any Australian troops die because of this, I hope you'll be here to cheer.

If any Australian troops die 'cause of him, I'll gladly order in the firing squad for him, until that time, I'm gonna keep supporting him just to piss you off. :)

He ought to be sleepin with da fishes
 
Re: Should Julian Assange be tried for his sexual assault allegations and his betraya

He'll eat lead. Executive Order 12333 protects against heads of state. It says nothing about annoying pseudo-journalists.

Then America will have a cloud of suspicion over it, nothing to prove, and things will be secured again. Plus it'll teach other wannabes what to expect if they decide to try and vomit secrets to people not meant to have them.
 
Re: Should Julian Assange be tried for his sexual assault allegations and his betraya

You're asking two separate things at the same time. They're separate issues.

Seems to me the sexual accusations were brought up before and he was let go. Why the change all of a sudden?
 
Re: Should Julian Assange be tried for his sexual assault allegations and his betraya

If the Swedes ever put a case together, then he could face trial, where he may or may not be found guilty.

Who did he "betray"? He embarrassed some political functionaries by exposing their cocktail-part gossip behind the scenes, and that will continue as long as the leaks do.

You support him cause you're a lib. The Aussie troopers would deserve to die, wouldn't they? If they hadn't been acting imperialistic, nothing would have happen. Am I right? I mean they're acting like pawn of the Great Satan of the West.

:lol: I think you lack reading comprehension.
 
Re: Should Julian Assange be tried for his sexual assault allegations and his betraya

If there is enough evidence of a sexual assault, then of course he should stand trial for it. As for his "betrayal", really depends on what was published and what real harm it has caused. Most people are just making assumptions and suppositions to say that he should be jailed. But I've seen no real fall out yet of it. Gather information, see what happens.
 
Re: Should Julian Assange be tried for his sexual assault allegations and his betraya

Ya last I checked he was from Australia, so the conservative blowhards need to shut up about all this betrayal nonsense.
 
Re: Should Julian Assange be tried for his sexual assault allegations and his betraya

This Julian Asshat guy is originally from Australia. In Oz date rape is an expression of affection. Although the poor guy was in Sweden, he was abiding by Aussie customs.

Exactly, just a cross-cultural misunderstanding.
 
Re: Should Julian Assange be tried for his sexual assault allegations and his betraya

Two questions with the poll answers being applied as if there was only one question. Lame.

If there's evidence of the sexual assault then yes he should be tried for it.

As for the "betrayal". He hasn't betrayed anyone so no.
 
Re: Should Julian Assange be tried for his sexual assault allegations and his betraya

As many have pointed out, this is 2 questions.

Sexual assault: it's a serious charge and should be taken seriously. Yes if there is enough evidence to get him to trial. He needs to turn himself in and go through the process, just like any one else faced with serious charges.

Betrayal: He is not American, so can hardly be accused of betraying a country he is not a part of. I am entirely unsure if his wikileaks activity falls outside the law, but if it does, try him. Personally, I would love for there to be found a way to try him for his wikileaks activity and lock him up for the rest of his life, but it does have to be done legally. The fact he deserves it for his actions is not enough.

He's given away American secrets.

Foolishness must not be a secret....
By 2011, our troops will dig out OBL and our President will be an American hero, at least to the pro-Americans.
 
Re: Should Julian Assange be tried for his sexual assault allegations and his betraya

I meant to say Sedition Act of 1917
 
Re: Should Julian Assange be tried for his sexual assault allegations and his betraya

Dear people who think that the actions of Julian Assange are going to get soldiers killed

The overwhelming majority of Afghanis have never even heard of 9/11. The majority of Iraqis are more concerned about not being blown up in their local markets than they are about Wikileaks. The reason people are shooting at our soldiers is not because of the internets. It's because we're in their country.

Truly yours, Somebody who has a clue.

You should return your clue for one not defective. The reason the leaked info is dangerous is because the names of informants among Afghanis was released in some of the documents. It does not take the whole country seeing those names, only one enemy who passes it along.
