Julian Assange’s bid to end his five-year standoff with police has failed after a court ruled the warrant for his arrest should stand.

He claimed being extradited to Sweden would see him removed to the US over WikiLeaks’ publication of war logs and diplomatic cables. – READ MORE

For what? DOJ & FBI must keep doing their jobs.”
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange pointed out the inherent contradiction (a weird kind of schizophrenia for a guy who used to run the nation’s premier law enforcement agency).
