Headlines have announced that Swedish authorities have 'withdrawn' their case for rape charges against Assange -- now note, the case could be re-opened at will as Sweden has NOT dropped charges, furthermore the UK maintains that Assange would be arrested for minor local crimes, that is failure to appear when legally required in court. Interesting but meaningless news no doubt, though Assange himself is well aware that Sweden's latest decision is only token.

But that is not the REAL news relating to Assange, his promise to surrender himself to US authorities if they released Chelsea Manning is. Well, Manning has been released but the world is waiting for Assange to honour his word. Fat chance, as he has a record of thinking only of himself and caring little for the people who have lost thousands paying his defaulted UK bail.

Have a think about your character, Julian, Wikileaks is easily able to continue without you, so what is your decision on surrendering yourself, as promised?
