LONDON – WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange surrendered to London police Tuesday as part of a Swedish sex-crimes investigation, the latest blow to an organization that faces legal, financial and technological challenges after releasing hundreds of secret U.S. diplomatic cables. |

Freedom of speech will not be applied here, US will deal with him, |
Re: Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange Arrested In Uk by RICHIEBOI1(m): 5:49pm On Dec 07, 2010 |
we all saw this coming. i pray his not eventually extradited to Sweden, if not Sweden will give him to the US on a plater of gold. sweden is one of those countries the US used for those their rendition programmes. a very close ally of the US. |

Dont worry guys - the US at present cant touch him as they have no laws to charge him with and also remember that he is not a U S citizen and new laws can not be used on a something that was legal before the law was made. Julian has strong underground backers at least 5 people posted almost £150k each to get a bail and stand as surety but was refused by the Judge indicating that Julian might abscond. I suspect it is in the best interest of Julian to remain in custody cause he far safer there. Extradition cases can last for many years -it is not that straight forward. ( At present their is an ongoing case of a guy who hacked into the US computer system in pentagon is still ongoing after almost 9 years) - especially when you have good lawyers and Julian has lot sentimental backers - from what i heard he is been represented by the one of the best human rights lawyers from Australia and UK those guys know how to frustrate cases. |

About time he got caught. |

@blacksta European arrest warrant is treated somewhat differently |
Re: Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange Arrested In Uk by texazzpete(m): 6:07pm On Dec 07, 2010 |
Conspiracy theorists will have a field day with this There was an Interpol warrant for his arrest for sexual offences. Let him clear his name if he has nothing to hide. See people trying to mentally give the man lifetime immunity just because of his involvement with Wikileaks. This man has done much to undermine the fight against terrorism. And that's a douchebag move. |
Re: Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange Arrested In Uk by mystikal(m): 6:20pm On Dec 07, 2010 |
About time jor. There was nothing constructive about the whole thing. Probably should have changed his name to BiN Laden, them no for catch am |
Re: Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange Arrested In Uk by alanbolo(m): 6:30pm On Dec 07, 2010 |
texazzpete: thx. There are some things that are not just meant 4 d public eyes. Life are at stakes here. |
Re: Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange Arrested In Uk by Nobody: 6:41pm On Dec 07, 2010 |
Well it won't make any difference as there is no way Sweden would ever extradite him to the USA. More importantly it will not stop the leaks. |
Re: Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange Arrested In Uk by Basseti: 6:42pm On Dec 07, 2010 |
The guy that leaked the Pentagon papers got cleared by the courts of all charges, so why is everybody now asking for Assange's head? |
Re: Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange Arrested In Uk by PupetMasta(m): 6:45pm On Dec 07, 2010 |
The guy should be treated as a terrorist. I also have a freedom of speech and press but I will not go about and call another person a scumbag especially if there is a lot at stake. Releasing the cables is so wrong, he just set back the fight on terrorism. |
Re: Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange Arrested In Uk by agabaI23(m): 6:55pm On Dec 07, 2010 |
He surrendered himself. Reported on the police on appointment so they said ooo I actually do not know what he wants to achieve anyway. |
Re: Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange Arrested In Uk by Basseti: 6:56pm On Dec 07, 2010 |
PupetMasta: What about the guy that leaked it to him, what about Bradley Manning? |

Must this thread be named "White Corruption" in the home page list? *smh* |

Life are at stakes here.as far as Iam concerned, the guy is a nuissance and complete 'trouble maker' to the entire world. now he is even threatening to release his 'insurance' joker if anything happens to him. he better thank his stars that he wasnt arressted in this part of the world |

texazzpete:Has he leaked any cable in regards to terrorism? shade more light or lies pls. |
Re: Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange Arrested In Uk by Solozzo(m): 7:25pm On Dec 07, 2010 |
i do not agree that Assange 's action in releasing those information was anything wrong. We have the right to know what our leaders are up to before the third world war begns. Imagine Australia 's former prime minister Kevin Rudd advising Hilary Clinton as US foreign minister to use force against China. Wikileaks revealed that recently. Can this not lead to danger for all of us; is this terrorism or is it not for our ow self protection to know what they are up to, these blood thirsty leaders. And Kevin Rudd used to claim to be a friend of China and even speak a chinese language. If they wait to keep thier cables secret they better know how to safeguard them or else Wikileaks will release it for us to see. I pray for his safety and thank Assange for the good job he is doing |
Re: Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange Arrested In Uk by Kobojunkie: 7:54pm On Dec 07, 2010 |
Basseti: It pays to do a bit of googling, preferably on your own to get yourself some facts to work with when debating. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradley_Manning |
Re: Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange Arrested In Uk by 4Play(m): 8:19pm On Dec 07, 2010 |
How ridiculous. If someone leaks confidential US info, they become 'heroes'. Why can't they leak from confidential Chinese Govt files. Their courage starts and ends with Western Govts. |

a yoruba adage says "olofofo o gba egba, ibi ope lo mo". So the goon managed to reveal the so called secrets, what else? |
Re: Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange Arrested In Uk by dmy(m): 8:39pm On Dec 07, 2010 |
imagine if wikileaks has US embassy cables from nigeria.the world will know who was behind the "tea" that MKO Abiola drank that lead to his death or who gave abacha the forbidden apple.i fully support assange.you are only afraid when you have skeletons in your cupboard.America shouts for FREEDOM of speech then why are they complaining now that the gun is pointed at them.i just cant wait to start reading all the details of what the Americans Really Think of Nigeria Leaders |
Re: Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange Arrested In Uk by violent(m): 9:05pm On Dec 07, 2010 |
Has he leaked any cable in regards to terrorism? shade more light or lies pls. do you actually understand what the term "undermine" means? The dude realized a cable detailing all US strategic assets around the world, a dream document for all terrorist groups! |
Re: Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange Arrested In Uk by violent(m): 9:14pm On Dec 07, 2010 |
The US has got him on his knees, but he's still got the feds by the balls. |
Re: Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange Arrested In Uk by Omenani(m): 9:21pm On Dec 07, 2010 |
He is undermining U.S. national security, it doesn't surprise me that he has been arrested. This man should be in Guantanamo with the rest of the terrorist. |
Re: Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange Arrested In Uk by Boboribo: 9:27pm On Dec 07, 2010 |
You see how a man man is declared wanted and promptly arrested. Not the Atiku is wanted in the US rant by BEAF. |
Re: Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange Arrested In Uk by Kobojunkie: 9:29pm On Dec 07, 2010 |
Undermining the US? Did everyone else here miss the cables from other embassies that have been released on the same site or what? |
Re: Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange Arrested In Uk by Builder: 9:31pm On Dec 07, 2010 |
This europeans are bleeping bastards and have no respect for freedom of speech , transparency and press freedom, if this shyte were to be happening in africa or any thrid world, its will be reported differemtly by their media, whats wrong with an individual revealin informations online, oh!!! i forgot, in africa its called lack of press freedon but in the western world its called putting peoples lives in danger, Democrazy my ars.e |
Re: Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange Arrested In Uk by Omenani(m): 9:31pm On Dec 07, 2010 |
Kobojunkie: Yes, he is undermining the U.S. What do you think releasing private discussions are doing to the U.S. credibility as it pertains to foreign diplomacy? It shows lapses in their security network as well. Indeed he is causing problem for the U.S. government. |
Re: Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange Arrested In Uk by sshalom(m): 9:39pm On Dec 07, 2010 |
Only time can tell the level of damage this guy's revelation has caused the US |
