Do you know the charges? Personally I see him as a journalist. So no, I would not want him arrested.

I don't know the charges - I just see his name on the indictment and know that he has been sitting in the Ecuadorian embassy because he is afraid to be extradited to the US. So I come back to the question - what right does the US have to charge, indict or extradite someone who is not a US citizen and has never committed a US crime on US soil.

And yes - I also view him as a journalist. So I don't even understand why Assange would ever be 'sentenced', never mind getting a commuted one. I'd just like to know under what law does the US have the right to extradite foreigners and sentence them?

Seeing as he published data taken in a live battle theater, I would think he is charged at least as a co-conspirator. Probable military law takes over?
