-The Home Office said in a statement that "the U.K courts have not found that it would be oppressive, unjust or an abuse of process to extradite Mr. Assange."

The irony of this statement would be humorous if it wasn't so frightening.

Funny how none of these Assange stories make it to the hn frontpage regardless of the massive upvotes ... I wonder what sort of mechanism is at play here ...
American resources are censore free, how dare you to doubt that?
It is a major development in a story that has broad interest to the tech community.

I find it odd that it is surpressed here, given what else we discuss.

I think people should upvote the earliest one from The Guardian, others could be flagged as dupes.

Maybe. The flag votes are not visible unlike the upvotes ... making it hard to see how often posts are flagged.
