The Ecuadorian authorities have said that they will be ready to make a decision whether or not to grant political asylum to Julian Assange next week.

here is a good chance that he will be refused and sent to Sweden where he can be extradited to the US for violations under the Espionage Act of 1917 for publishing documents from Bradley Manning and others.

Do you think that Julian Assange should stand trial in the US for publishing leaked documents on Wikileaks?

Or do you feel that his actions serve to encourage governments to be more transparent and accountable?

    He exposed war crimes, he should be commended

    I agree, and suspect that one day will be vindicated for his actions.

    Actually, he would be accused for political reasons and not for having revealed scandals.
    I am not sure if this is really justice.

    He has not been charged with any crime so why should he stand trial. He has not broken any law or they would have charged him by now. It is outrageous the way he has been treated held under house arrest with no charge.

    I don't believe publishing leaked documents should be a crime.

    The simple answer is no, and I see no reason to pursue him as to my knowledge no one died as a result of him releasing these documents.

    As far as I'm concerned, the criminals in Washington that abuse their Top Secret, confidential, and "Treat as Top Secret" (thanks for this one Cheney) stamps are the ones that need to be arrested, because if anyone is putting troops in harms way, its these crooks.

    For the past hundred years all wars were shams and you know that. They were all done by the NWO funding both sides, to bring us to where we are today. Your whole life has been nothing but one big lie and you sit here and talk about killing a kid that did the right thing. Pathetic Dagon.

    Your fantasy, my nightmare. What's funny is all men that went into the service don't even realize that it is brainwashing. Just as my Catholic school was, but I saw it!

    I'm not talking about before the service. If you think about it we are brainwashed from birth. Think hard and long about what we are told and what we are made to do.

    But putting yourself in the governments hands, you bet your bippee you and every one that joined was brainwashed to think a certain way. Like they are your masters and your very life belongs to them. Give me a break, I can see it clear as day and always could. All you vets still believe in them even knowing what slime they are. That shows you, that you are brainwashed.

    He should stand trial in Sweden. As for the US, if they want him, then they can try to convince Sweden they have a case. I don't think that will happen.
