So Julian may yet rule some part of Australia at this point. If only he can get out of England to Down Under, all will turn out well for him and he'll be a free man again.

Just imagine the changes that could be put into effect by the Wikileaks political party run by Assange and what it would do to their current system. The mind boggles.

This could get really interesting. That whole Sweden thing reeked of CIA.
