I know he’s Australian but he violated US law. Have him extradited and put him on trial.

LOL!

Today’s Guardian:

“If extradited to Sweden under the EAW – a process that could be concluded quickly under the fast-track procedure – Assange will be vulnerable to other extradition requests from countries including the US.

The US has an extradition treaty with Sweden since the 1960s, when the nations agreed to “make more effective the co-operation of the two countries in the repression of crime”.

Extradition under the treaty is likely to face a number of obstacles, not least the fact that the likely charges facing Assange in the US – under the Espionage Act or other legislation protecting national security – are not included in the exhaustive list of offences set out in the law.”
