Assange will go to Sweden: diplomats

AUSTRALIAN government officials believe that WikiLeaks is ''broken'' and that Julian Assange has no alternative other than to surrender for extradition to Sweden to face sexual assault allegations.

Quote:

They do not rule out the WikiLeaks publisher's eventual extradition to the United States.

As Assange nears six months' confinement in Ecuador's London embassy, security and diplomatic sources in Canberra have privately expressed confidence that WikiLeaks is ''effectively moribund''.

It is thought that the transparency group's dwindling financial support will ''sooner or later dry up'' leaving Assange ''irrelevant and with little alternative other than to leave Ecuador's embassy''.

Quote:

''This is slowly playing itself out, over months, maybe more than a year, but there's only one likely outcome - extradition to Sweden,'' a diplomatic source said last week.

One security official claimed WikiLeaks' ''inner group'' now comprised only ''four to six people, including Assange'' and that its website was ''running on empty'' financially.

''WikiLeaks doesn't have an electronic drop box any more; they haven't published anything of any great consequence for many months. There's just a Twitter feed. This phenomenon has run its course,'' he said.

In June, Assange sought asylum in Ecuador's embassy after Britain's highest court rejected his appeal against extradition to face sexual assault allegations in Sweden.

Before going to Sweden he better commits Seppuku. At least I would consider it if being in his place.

Gerald · 12-04-12, 12:06 PM

He's not a samurai, may convert to shearers instead.

He'll certainly be expecting a 'frosty' reception, especially at this time of year

Jimbuna · 12-04-12, 01:05 PM

I doubt you have the time unless you travel.

Gerald · 12-04-12, 01:14 PM

Our paths have met once before.

Jimbuna · 12-04-12, 01:15 PM

Well I've met The Yorkshire Ripper before but don't talk about it...not a very professional way to conduct oneself.

Gerald · 12-04-12, 01:18 PM

Yes, but this has nothing to do with his way of being, so this is considered unknown.

End of service game.
