Assange To Be Extradited

Posted 2/24/11 at 8:45am by jamie

Things are going to get really interesting now:

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is to be extradited to Sweden to face allegations of rape and sexual assault. Assange will appeal, his legal team confirmed. If this is unsuccessful, he will be extradited to Sweden in 10 days.

Delivering his ruling at a hearing at Belmarsh magistrates court in London, the chief magistrate Howard Riddle systematically dismissed each of the defence's arguments against Assange's extradition.

Assange's legal team had disputed that Swedish prosecutor, Marianne Ny, had the authority to issue a European arrest warrant, but the judge ruled that she did possess this authority and the warrant issued was valid.

I wonder if Assange will be releasing the secret key to his “insurance” file soon? He has threatened to do just that and this file has all the world’s leaders on edge.

Right after Obama became the nominee, the polls had Obama ahead of McCain by only a couple of points. The media used that to ask why Obama wasn't winning by more. Their argument was that people wanted change and the polls aren't showing that with Obama.

Fast forward a couple of weeks.

Obama is now leading in polls by huge amounts. Now the media is asking if it's too good to be true for Obama.

So two weeks ago it was a problem that Obama was stomping McCain, now it is a problem that Obama is stomping McCain. Wow the media is great at inventing news!

I Thought The Middle East Problems Were Because Of Democrats!

Seriously - isn't that what we have heard for years? They blame Clinton and Carter. So then riddle me this one:

Anxious not to repeat mistakes of past Middle East peace-making, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has turned to former presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter for tips ahead of her own conference this year.

Rice invited Carter, a vocal critic of Bush administration policies, to the State Department on Wednesday where the two discussed his Arab-Israeli peacemaking efforts in the 1970s, State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said on Friday.

Their talks were "good and cordial," he said. They focused on the Middle East and not Carter's recent criticism of President George W. Bush's policies in Iraq and elsewhere.

A Soviet specialist, Rice also telephoned another former Democratic president, Bill Clinton, who tried, and ultimately failed, in his eight years in office to bring the Israelis and Palestinians together.

I guess Democrats weren't too bad for the Middle East. I can't wait for the Republicans to cry foul on this one!
