		<description>&quot;I will explain this as clearly and simply as possible for you: ..&quot;  - you&#039;ve set out your opinion; no problem with that. I disagree strongly with #1 and #3 based on demonstrable evidence in the public domain - Justice4Assange.org has plenty of factual evidence if you&#039;re interested. 

RE #2 - most JA supporters don&#039;t necessary dispute that he *may* have breached Sweden&#039;s strict sexual conduct laws (though &quot;rape&quot; is a total exaggeration, as confirmed by both Prosecutor Finné and the accusers themselves). The issue is the US persecution threat - see repeated public threats from Biden, Palin et al. 

As well as remaining in Sweden until Finné granted permission for him to leave, JA has repeatedly offered to answer questions in London / by telephone / teleconference, as permitted by Sweden&#039;s legal system during preliminary investigations. JA has even offered to return to Sweden *provided* they can guarantee won&#039;t extradite him to US.

RE Sweden being unable to extradite him without UK consent; the problem is the &quot;temporary surrender&quot; provisions, which allow Sweden to extradite without UK&#039;s consent, provided he is *eventually* returned to Sweden. Further, indications are that US would attempt to prosecute JA under hacking crimes legislation, which is a crime in the UK too, and thus reason not to object to JA being onward extradited.</description>

		<description>I appreciate that a headline must be brief and that much or most of its semantic weight must be connotational, implied or require further research, but  ... &lt;i&gt;really&lt;/i&gt;? The Home Office ignores pretty much anything it likes. It&#039;s a law unto itself. Picking out one particular source of annoyance to it seems pointless is all.</description>

		<description>The topic is extradition from the UK to the US and whether it requires that a crime be committed on US soil, so my comment, while tangential, is not off topic.

In response to your comment: &quot;And not having broken any laws in Sweden would prevent them extraditing him to the US (as they have consistently done in the past, and leaked 
cables reveal a submissive relationship to US) *how* exactly?&quot;
 I will explain this as clearly and simply as possible for you:
1) I think that the US has no interest in extraditing Assange and that if they wanted to, they very easily could (from the UK just as easily, if not more easily, than from Sweden).
2) Assange probably did commit the crimes for which he has been accused in Sweden.
3) Assange is using the whole, &quot;If I go to Sweden, they&#039;ll send me to America, where I&#039;ll be executed!&quot; thing as an excuse to avoid facing the law.

As for reading up on the issue, you do realize that if Sweden were to attempt to extradite him, the UK would also have a say in that, right? In other words, it is impossible that he could be safer from extradition in the UK than in Sweden. Or are you going to make me explain that, too?</description>

Read up on the well documented reasons the US fancies their chances of extraditing from Swe better than the UK. 

You appear to have little comprehension of the Assange case, so why the off topic comment? Trolling?</description>

		<description>The Home Office is the political grave of most Home Secretaries - how many did we have under the Labour government? Almost all of them left the position following a scandal. Teresa May is on borrowed time, even now some piece of lorranorder legislation or cobbled together piece of Orwellian software is ticking away under her desk.
Though there is definitely something in the water supply at the Home Office. Perfectly sane politicians with high principles have gone in there and come out gibbering, populist, demagogues - older readers might remember that David Blunkett was once a popular, thoughtful, liberal. I&#039;ve met Charles Clarke after his stint as Home Secretary - charming, funny, very intelligent and nothing like the monster who tried to foist ID cards on the nation and lock up anyone for any reason.</description>

		<description> I was sarcastically implying that Mr. Assange&#039;s claims to the effect that if he were extradited to Sweden, he would be sent to the United States are ludicrous because, if the US wanted to extradite Assange, they would have less trouble doing so from the UK than from Sweden.

Or, in other words, if he hasn&#039;t broken any laws in Sweden, he should want to go there by all means.</description>

		<description> Huh, what are you talking about? This goes the opposite way. This shows that the UK is willing to extradite someone when they haven&#039;t even broken a law in either country.
That does not make Assange any safer, in fact it makes him even less safe.
And Sweden was supposed to have a history that made it even more likely that they would extradite him to the US.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;q&gt;Home Office to ignore Wikipedia founder&#039;s petition against O&#039;Dwyer extradition&lt;/q&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;That&#039;s a joke headline isn&#039;t it? Of course it&#039;s going to ignore Jimmy Wales. He&#039;s got no authority over the UK Home Office. He&#039;s not even a UKanian. It&#039;s crazy that &lt;i&gt;that&lt;/i&gt; is the headline here.

It&#039;s the general disgustingness of the UK&#039;s Home Office that&#039;s the issue here. And the contempt in which those in power are rightly held by anyone with any sense of our anthropoid-ape based &#039;natural&#039; justice.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><q>Home Office to ignore Wikipedia founder&#8217;s petition against O&#8217;Dwyer extradition</q></p></blockquote>
<p>That&#8217;s a joke headline isn&#8217;t it? Of course it&#8217;s going to ignore Jimmy Wales. He&#8217;s got no authority over the UK Home Office. He&#8217;s not even a UKanian. It&#8217;s crazy that <i>that</i> is the headline here.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the general disgustingness of the UK&#8217;s Home Office that&#8217;s the issue here. And the contempt in which those in power are rightly held by anyone with any sense of our anthropoid-ape based &#8216;natural&#8217; justice.</p>

		<description>So if this  toadying to the US Govt and there MPAA/RIAA masters is taken to its logical conclusion could i be rendered to the USA for jay-walking? 

Perhaps we could we arrange for all handgun owners in the US to be rendered here for Illegal possession of a handgun, I think its a 5 year minimum term. It only seems fair, Or if US law does apply here as she seems to think, Id like to resume small bore pistol shooting that i had to give up when they band them.

Drop her a line, they like to hear from the public.</description>

		<description>She&#039;s from &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maidenhead_%28UK_Parliament_constituency%29&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Maidenhead&lt;/a&gt;. When she was elected in 2010, she got 31,937 votes (59.5%), while the second-closest was a libDem with 15,168 votes (28.2%). That&#039;s roughly how every election has turned out since the constituency was created  in &#039;97 (elections  were in 1997, 2001, 2005, 2010) - so far, she&#039;s the only representative Maidenhead has ever elected.

Of course, that doesn&#039;t make her position invulnerable. It would, however, take a fair bit of effort to make her feel threatened.</description>

		<description>Perhaps spare a moment to remember poor old Gary McKinnon who&#039;s been dangling for 10 years now.  And let&#039;s also not forget David Cameron&#039;s (pre-election) quote about his case:

&quot;I am deeply saddened and disappointed with this decision. Gary McKinnon is a vulnerable young man and I see no compassion in sending him thousands of miles away from his home and loved ones to face trial. If he has questions to answer, there is a clear argument to be made that he should answer them in a British court. This case raises serious questions about the workings of the Extradition Act, which should be reviewed.&quot;</description>

		<description>Ah yes, it&#039;s a special circle of hell where they&#039;re tortured by an eternity of waiting to hear if they&#039;ll be transferred to an even worse circle.

		<description>Food for thought, Mr. Assange. Sweden isn&#039;t looking so horrible now, is it?

That is...assuming you didn&#039;t actually commit any crimes in Sweden, right? </description>
