"The ACLU's point is vital: if the US can force the arrest and then extradite foreigners like Assange on foreign soil for publishing docs, what prevents China or Iran or, you know, Russia for doing the same to US journalists who publish secrets about them?"

His extradition is subject to approval by a British court and must comply with British and European Human Rights law.

 

He’s not being extradited for publishing documents.

 

I’m sure you can find all sorts of emotive and hyperbole quotes in favour of Assange not facing justice, but you can’t dodge the fact he and the case against him is subject to open and transparent judicial process before British and European courts.
