(2,150 posts)It's three years later and Rove and his collaborators are still strategizing about how to snatch Assange. Somewhere in this thread there is a video link where Rove actually says the equivalent of that.
Rove and his allies are people with no conscience whatsoever. You know that and so do most savvy DUers. The Rovians are out for revenge for embarrassing their friends.
Assange just wrote an open letter to French President Francois Hollande, asking for political asylum in France. He was refused. IMHO that is a blow that stinks of fear. Hollande should be grateful that WikiLeaks published how the NSA eavesdropped on the last three French presidents. Maybe Hollande is afraid that he's being spied on as well. Here's the NYT story on the NSA spying on three French presidents:

Assange cannot even go outside to get fresh air because of the Scotland Yard forces surrounding the Ecuadorian embassy. He cannot even go to a hospital, and says that his "health is deteriorating."
