Hope Assange has enjoyed the recent bout of nice weather in London....

Oh no. He'd be locked up in a 3 room office 24/7 wouldn't he?

Grin

Shame that....

It might not be ideal, but it's still better than America, under the terrorist regime.

Assange reveals life inside 'space station' embassy

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is certain he will one day go to Ecuador, he said in an interview published Sunday, describing his life in the Ecuadoran embassy in London as "like being in a space station".

The Australian activist, 41, has been holed up in the embassy since claiming asylum on June 19 in a bid to avoid extradition to Sweden, where he faces questioning over alleged sex crimes.
Assange -- who denies the allegations and fears Sweden would extradite him to the United States -- told Britain's Mail on Sunday he was keeping busy by working 17 hours a day on the whistleblowing website.

WikiLeaks deeply embarrassed the US government in 2010 by publishing huge caches of confidential documents on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and more than 250,000 diplomatic cables from US embassies around the world.

Assange supporters claim he could receive harsh treatment if sent to the US and possibly even face the death penalty.

Despite a diplomatic stalemate between Britain and Ecuador over his extradition to Sweden, Assange said he was sure he would eventually go to the Latin American country.

"I think it is inevitable but I will not be marooned there," the former computer hacker told the Mail, which showed him wearing an Ecuadoran shirt with jeans and trainers as he sat in the embassy.

"From Ecuador, me and my staff could safely travel to and from a number of friendly countries such as Tunisia, Egypt, Russia, Brazil, India, Venezuela, Chile and Argentina."

Ecuador granted Assange asylum on August 16 but Britain has denied him safe passage out of the country, and police are guarding the embassy in case he tries to escape.
The WikiLeaks founder said he had spent some of his early days in the embassy "training to use emergency equipment".
The Mail said was not permitted to disclose "the precise nature of the safety equipment he keeps close to his bed, nor of the contents of the documents and diagrams pinned to his wall".

Assange complained that his health was "slowly deteriorating", adding that he had "a racking cough".
Nonetheless, he said he was keeping fit by using a running machine, boxing, and seeing a personal trainer -- reportedly an ex-soldier in Britain's elite SAS turned whistleblower -- every other day.

He watches TV shows including 1960s sci-fi series "The Twighlight Zone" and US political drama "The West Wing" to relax.

The WikiLeaks founder also revealed that he had teething issues with the UV lamp -- designed to replicate sunlight -- when he first used before his appearance on the embassy balcony to address the media six weeks ago.
"After half an hour, one of my staff said, 'Julian, your face on one side is beetroot, and your neck as well,'" he recalled.
"I looked like a boiled lobster but the balcony was a major political moment and I thought what, what, what am I going to do?
"I decided I would have to do the other side to match."

Just like I said, Gillard should have known better. She must have been an awful lawyer.

.............................................................................

Gillard 'unwise' to say Assange broke law

PRIME Minister Julia Gillard made an unwise decision to presume WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's guilt, which has prompted him to pursue a possible defamation case, Deputy Opposition Leader Julie Bishop says.

Ms Bishop says Mr Assange, who has reportedly hired Sydney lawyers to pursue a defamation case against Ms Gillard, is entitled to seek legal remedies if he believes he's been defamed.

Mr Assange has told left-leaning activist group GetUp! that Ms Gillard defamed WikiLeaks when she allegedly told a radio station in 2010 he had broken the law by releasing hundreds of thousands of US diplomatic cables, according to a statement released by the group on Monday.

Ms Bishop said she had always held concerns about the prime minister's statement that Mr Assange had committed an illegal act under Australian law.

"I'm not aware of any law that Julian Assange has broken in Australia," she told Sky News.


"The prime minister is a trained lawyer. She should know that to state that someone has committed an illegal act when there's no evidence is highly prejudicial."

The prime minister had plenty of time to withdraw, retract or apologise for the statement, Ms Bishop said, and a Senate motion had called on her to do so.

"It was a very unwise thing to do for Julia Gillard to presume Julian Assange's guilt before he had faced any charges anywhere."

Mr Assange remains in Ecuador's embassy in London after seeking asylum as part of a bid to avoid extradition to Sweden, where he is wanted for questioning over rape allegations.

The Australian citizen is concerned if he goes to Sweden, authorities will allow him to be extradited to the United States.

You can shake any cops hand, they just take orders from their superior, like you do.

At least the world knows who the REAL terrorists are and that's all that matters in the long run.

Have you noticed the anti-American sentiment around the world? It's picking up aye! I didn't think I was the only one, but I didn't know I was part of a majority.

This guy spent his youth as a hacker to then find a way to make money out of it while discrediting the very authorities that wish to prosecute him for it, and now cretins hail him as their hero? he's no hero  ... if he had any integrity or backbone he would face his charges and stand up for himself rather than hide behind some embassy doors .....

It seems from the Channel 10 presentation... shown  on Sunday night, ... that he spent his entire youth, on the run, from a Cult.... The Family.

Heard of them have you?
Probably not, seeing as your 'knowledge' seems corrupted by your prejudice. Cool

While Assange may be a case study writ large in uber-narcissism, I believe that he is neither honest about his motives nor capable of evoking honesty in others.
