I agree that Julian Assange being extradited to The USA from Sweden is far from a sure Thing ... And IF he is convicted on the Sexual Abuse Charges in Sweden, I have no Idea if that would mean Prison Time, or what ... But ... Of course ... If there IS no Trial, no Day in Court, then Assange will NOT be in a Position to "Clear his Name," either, but will REMAIN a Pariah ... and/or, OTOH ... He may then have to be very, very CAREFUL where ELSE he travels, having to avoid OTHER Countries that WOULD be willing to arrest him and extradite him to The USA ... It took us a DECADE to get Osama bin Laden, but we did finally get him ... We're patient ... We remember ...

EVERY Society -- being composed entirely of fallible Human Beings and their imperfect Institutions -- will FAIL to deliver "Paradise" on Earth ... That is not LEAST of the Reasons to be wary, wary, wary of Julian Assange's ANARCHIST "Dream Paradise" ...

If US wants him bad enpugh if fo no other reason than to show the world 'who's the boss' they will manufacter the right law for the occasion - not for this...but for that*** If they do go that far, then the world is truly on a slippery slope of injustice and true terror. And it will not be Assange alone, we are all in it like a sinking boat.

Because of the Time in which we live, Security Arrangements have indeed changed ... The Events of 9-11-2001 HAPPENED and we have readjusted accordingly ... Just yesterday in the News it was reported that one of "American-born" Jihadists had spilled some Details of potential planned FUTURE al Qaida Attacks on innocent Persons on American Soil ... I, for one, am PLEASED that the Plans have been foiled and that Conspirators are being brought to Justice ... But as for Julian Assange, his Fate remains unclear not least because he continues to perptuate endless DELAYS such that his own Day in Court is going to happen ... when ... ???

Probably EVERY Age has had a "Don Quixote"-Figure, bravely "tilting-at-Windmills" mistaken for Monsters ... (S)he tries to infuse the REST of us with his/her terrible pervasive Anxiety and Dread and pleads with us to, "Follow ME ... !!!" .... Back in The 1950s in The USA, one such was Senator Joe McCarthy, who was just absolutely CERTAIN that The U. S. State Department was FULL of "Communists" who were bent upon our Destruction ... In The Late 1960s - Early 70s, President "Tricky Dick" Nixon maintained an "Enemies List" and fostered illegal Break-Ins (sound familiar ???) ... These Days, a rag-tag Thrill-seeking Group of snoopy Hackers ("WikiLeaks") TRIES to foster The Romance of "Anarchy" ... Sorry ... I didn't "buy" it back THEN ... and I don't "buy" it NOW ...
