"So there you have it. Extradited for journalism. In a blur, everything that Assange and WikiLeaks have been warning about for years has been proven correct, contrary to mountains of claims to the contrary by establishment loyalists everywhere. The same government which tortured Chelsea Manning is in the process of extraditing her publisher so that they can silence him forever. Everyone who has ever denied that this was happening needs to hang their heads in shame for scoffing at a very real threat to press freedoms everywhere when they could have been opposing this obscene agenda. It’s time for some serious soul searching."
Whilst I fully agree that Assange should not be extradited to the USA, it's important to remember two things here which seem to have been missed from whichever article you're quoting (the link isn't working): one, he has been arrested for failing to appear in court when summoned (of which he's definitely guilty) rather than for his activities with Wikileaks, and he hasn't been extradited (yet).
