It's a brand new world, sport fans: Though informal discussions have already taken place between US and Swedish officials, over the 'possibility' of Julian Assange being delivered into American custody, and US Defense Secretary Robert Gates is already crowing about "the good news", visibly rubbing his hands about his intention of charging Mr. Assage with "espionage" offences over his website's unprecedented releases of classified US diplomatic files, there is, as they say - many a slip between the cup and the lip, like the disgusting spectacle of Obama's acceptance of the Nobel Peace prize under false pretenses. In other words, our "valiant" president was NEVER interested in peace, but merely wanted to provide a cover for his continuation of our war in Afghanistan, which might attract the idiots in our country to sign up for a war without any possibility of merit. Mr. Assange's appearance in the London court, the focus of massive international media attention, will only serve to highlight the deliberate bankruptcy of our intentions. Mr. Assage, 39, had voluntarily gone to a police station, accompanied by lawyers, after the issuance of an "international warrant." The court heard that Jemima Khan, the sister of Conservative MP Zac Goldsmith, the film director Ken Loach, and journalist John Pilger were among those who offered to stand bail for Mr. Assad.
