[governance] Tangential (On Exceptionalism Wikileaks) America's vassal acts decisively and illegally

[Salanieta T. Tamanikaiwaimaro]

If Assange knows what's good for him, he would not be interrogated even in
Scotland Yard because then the the *Treaty of Amsterdam (1997)* would kick
in and he could get arrested by the UK and extradited to Sweden and upon an
extradition/rendition request from the US be sent to the US and possibly
walk the last green mile depending on where he is tried.

This is of interest because Assange and Wikileaks are synonymous with
freedom of information regardless of the source or how the information was
extracted even if it means violating national sovereignty arguments of
"national security". I aem sure that some countries are already classifying
Assange as a terrorist. His character is sort of like the Robin Hood of the
digital age. So is he a terrorist or Robin Hood?
