http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/ho ... 78941.htmlJulian Assange could walk free from the Ecuadorian embassy within hours, since he will ask a London court on Friday to drop an arrest warrant stemming from his breach of bail conditions in Britain.
The Wikileaks founder has been holed up in the embassy since 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden over an allegation of rape, which he denies.
The 46-year-old fears extradition to Sweden would lead to extradition to the US, where he is wanted over leaked documents.
Swedish prosecutors have since decided to drop the rape investigation into Mr Assange, but British police have said he would be arrested for breaching bail conditions should he leave the building.
A spokesman for Britain’s Crown Prosecution Service said: "He is seeking to have the warrant of arrest discontinued because the Swedes have confirmed that the extradition warrant is no longer live.
“He is seeking that therefore the warrant of arrest should be taken out as well.
Asked if a successful ruling could enable Mr Assange to walk free, the spokesman replied: “hypothetically yes, that would be our interpretation”.

It will be interesting to see if Assange goes back to his high profile existence as the public face of leaked classified and embarrassing government information or if he steps back from the media limelight. The Ecuadorian Embassy may be a palace on the inside for all I know, but it's still been his prison for all of his 40's. A lot has changed since he's been locked away. His buddy leaker Chelsea (formerly Bradley) Manning is reportedly now sporting a shiny new, US government-furnished vagina and is running for the US Senate. Maybe they can hook up and become a Washington DC beltway power couple. It's a bold new world.

Thanks, that made me laugh. As for Assange, it's like he's been in jail for years already. He should just fly to Sweden.Edwardo wrote:His buddy leaker Chelsea (formerly Bradley) Manning is reportedly now sporting a shiny new, US government-furnished vagina.... It's a bold new world.

A bit off-topic but the degenerate and traitorous tranny Chelsea Manning recently released an ad for a US senate run. It's one of the creepiest political ads I've ever seen.

I honestly feel bad for her because she was tortured by the US government. She probably should've spent a decade in prison for her actions but she did not deserve to be tortured!Lucky Lucan wrote:I had to turn that off before the end. Guy gives me the creeps.
Nice to know my income taxes went to pay for his sexchange surgery while he was incarcerated as a convicted felon.

How does that work? I thought only liberal European countries paid for that kind of stuff? Can you get a sex-change in a public hospital?Edwardo wrote:Nice to know my income taxes went to pay for his sexchange surgery while he was incarcerated as a convicted felon.

No idea how that worked and I'm too lazy to research it. I do remember reports that Manning went on a hunger-strike while in prison because the government initially refused to pay for his elective surgery. Why they eventually relented and agreed to pay I have no idea...maybe a deal to avoid torture charges. "Torture" in this case meaning Manning being incarcerated naked in a 6' x 8' windowless room for a couple months while held in a US military facility in Kuwait after his arrest. Most prisoners in any prison who can't be put in with the general prison population for their own safety are often put in solitary confinement in small rooms. He wouldn't have lasted long with typical inmates, especially in a military cell. The naked thing was hardly torture. That was to prevent his suicide by hanging with his own prison clothing and bedding, which he reportedly attempted several times. It's not like he was waterboarded or beaten or anything.Lucky Lucan wrote:How does that work? I thought only liberal European countries paid for that kind of stuff?

If that was the extent of the torture, then I retract my previous statement. I should do more research into the matter.

I've got nothing against the ladyboy's, but one thing i've noticed in the region is that they are often extreme attention whores. Who here has had them accidentally on purpose bump into them on the street with an ''Oh, solleeee'' ?
Or maybe it's just cos i'm so fugging hansum?
So you gotta wonder what Mrs Manning's motives were, as i'm seing it as abit me me me.
