Stick a fork in him. My prediction is he will quickly be extradited to the US, he'll face prosecution for espionage and when found guilty be sent to ADX Florence to live out the rest of life in solitude staring at 4 walls forever.

His claim to journalism was dubious at best since they were simply dumping documents. The issue is he apparently crossed that line as well by directly aiding and abetting Manning which is against the law no matter who you are. Keep in mind even the Obama administration was after him, his future is bleak to say the least.

Against whose law? He is not subject to the laws of the USA, he can "abet and aide" Manning to whatever extent he wants. Why are you upset over Manning? Does it scar you that Manning revealed how barbaric your military and government are?

Manning is an idiot, used the government for his sex change operation and has never contributed anything to society. AFA being scared that our military and government is barbaric? Nah. I think they should bring back waterboarding.

So Ecuador should house him indefinitely? He certainly will have a trial and they will either prove or not prove the charges that made the extradition possible. Of course as a non citizen he could be detained indefinitely so there is that, but he'll be alright or not.

Manning should have been shot for treason.

Tell that to El Chapo, Noriega and many others. Anybody is subject to prosecution for crimes against the US, the only thing required is the means to prosecute them. If there is not already secret deal in place to extradite him he will go before UK judge and ordered deported to the US. There isn't many places in the world you can hide from the US, even Snowden is at risk if the US wanted him at significant cost.

Wikileaks apparently has released some documents implicating the Ecuadoran President in some type of offshore scandal. They are claiming Assange no longer has any editorial involvement. This reads like a soap opera, about a year ago they granted him citizenship. Apparently they were going to try and grant him diplomatic immunity to get him to Ecuador. Probably a good thing for him that didn't happen.

Under what international law does the USA have this right? All I see is a country bullying others and breaking international law as it see's fit.

A mugger has no right to rob anyone but they still do because they're gangsters, immoral - like your country.
