Assange Arranging To Meet Police "By Consent"
Breaking news per Reuters: "Lawyer for WikiLeak's Julian Assange says arranging to meet police by consent." Whether this means an arrest is imminent we hope to find out shortly. And just this out from NBC: Julian Assange's attorney says a place and time are being negotiated for a meeting with Scotland Yard.
From Reuters:
A lawyer for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said on Monday he and his client were in the process of arranging to meet British police.
"Julian Assange has not been charged with anything," Mark Stephens told BBC television.
"We are in the process of making arrangements to meet with the police by consent in order to facilitate the taking of that question and answer that's needed."
He could not give details about when that might be arranged.
Assange is wanted in Sweden in connection with alleged sex crimes.
And the latest from the Guardian:
8.24pm: This just in from Ewan MacAskill, the Guardian's correspondent in Washington:
"International pressure on Julian Assange intensified tonight as the US attorney general, Eric Holder, disclosed that he had authorised "significant" actions aimed at prosecuting the WikiLeaks founder over the release of thousands of diplomatic cables.
The US attorney general, speaking at a press conference in Washington, said: "The lives of people who work for the American people have been put at risk. The American people themselves have been put at risk by these actions that I believe are arrogant, misguided and ultimately not helpful in any way. We are doing everything that we can."
Asked if he might mount a prosecution under the Espionage Act, Holder said: "That is certainly something that might play a role, but there are other statutes, other tools at our disposal."

...Perhaps not.
4:31 Assange in his own words:"Don't think that people like me don't know it back and forward" (on UK legal system Burden of Proof)
I don't think he's making this up as it comes along.
I can't believe a faction of the US is using this guy to embarrass Obama and Hillary, thats to dangerous. He could quite possibly be a very savy cyber person who knew how to keep one step ahead of the hounds. Remember when he started doing this 4 years ago, he was outing more countries and institutions overseas and their leaders than the US. We didn't mind then. He got information that was to hot and that is why the rest of the Western world is doing everything they can to shut him down or find reason to shut him down.
I think you are all wrong - not as easy as black or white:
