It's entirely possible that you'll be able to see any legal proceedings on TV.

And get some shaky cell phone footage of his hanging?
How does an Australian Computer Nerd become as Public Enemy to the US as Saddam?
I suspect that once the US traces down all of Assange's supporters and fellow info-jihadists, that most will be 13 year old boys playing cyber warrior while Mom thinks they are asleep in their rooms.
What does that say about our strategies and tactics into the future?

According to what I've been seeing through various venues many of Assanges followers appear to be rather good-looking young women who are political activists in other forms too. Edit, to add "They are not appearing to be technophiles"Originally Posted by Steve the Planner

The scholarship of teaching and learning results in equal hatred from latte leftists and cappuccino conservatives.

David I am in complete agreement - hope I did not give the impression I wasn't. It was your traffic lights that peeked my interest but Sarah Montague never got control of the 'discussion' and the resulting shouting match meant the audience learnt nothing. I was disappointed and warning others that listening to the rather unedifying exchange was probably not an effective use of their time.
JMA I liked your post just thought the 'good stuff' might lead readers to think this was an informative robust debate with points being made and countered - sadly no such luck.

Perfidious Albion?
The impression that the UK's role in this case is to gain time for the USA to make an extradition application can only be reinforced by this report in The daily Telegraph, entitled 'Wikileaks: Julian Assange facing US prosecution bid, says Joe Biden'.

David the Brits are letting themselves down very badly on this matter by selling their justice system out to please the US.
Like for Australia Assange has (with 99% probability) broken no law in the UK and young David should have the balls to tell the yanks that both privately and on TV for international consumption.
Assange is under house arrest with $300,000 bail for an alleged series of actions in Sweden that if convicted would receive about $1,000 fine. Yet the UK courts are treating this as if it were the espionage case of the century. How does a judge miss it that the extradition is for the minor sex related offenses and not the Wikileaks cables? (This sounds more like an episode of Judge Deeds on TV but without a judge like Deeds with a pair of steel balls.)
The groveling of the Brits on this is sickening.
Let's wait with such a judgement till he gets either his passport or is being extradited.
