16. It's not my unequivocal assertion that he'll run.
I just know what I'd do in his place, and that's get the hell out of the UK.

If it doesn't happen, I'll be happy to say that I was wrong.

17. He's got an electronic tag on him.
I get what you're saying - but it would be nice to note
If he doesn't.

14. No he won't
He'll hide in plain site just like he's done from the beginning. That's his second most important insurance policy.

8. No shit....
Have to wonder if the US will be (publically) "upset" that he is being released while really thinking that now they have a way to get to him.

11. ->NOTE: Condition of bail includes wearing an "electronic tag".
I'm relieved that Assange looks like he's about be to granted bail (from what I've read the Swedes could maybe put the kibosh on it in the next few hours) but I'm not so comfortable about him being so easily trackable.

12. Surely you mean that he's been killed by CIA assassins?
What's that? Bail, you say?

:rofl:

15. I wish the Obama Administration would now back off
The White House campaign against Assange is disgraceful. I wish they would stop their legal machinations and the trumped-up sex charges they convinced the Swedes to bring forward.
