Be afraid, be very afraid

David Pitchford, a Florida trailer park resident, names Julian Assange and WikiLeaks as defendants in a personal injury suit filed with the Florida Southern District Court in Miami. In the complaint filed on 6 January 2011, Pitchford alleges that Assange's negligence has caused "hypertension," "depression" and "living in fear of being stricken by another heart attack and/or stroke" as a result of living "in fear of being on the brink of another nuclear war."

Professor: US may assassinate Assange

An Interpol "red notice" has been issued on WikiLeaks founder Julia Assange. While it must be pointed out that a "red notice" is not an international arrest warrant, the persons concerned are wanted by national jurisdictions, and Interpol's job is to assist in locating said persons for possible arrest and extradition. Assange is reportedly staying in England, and police is aware of his location.

A Finnish legal expert says Assange may not have much time left. Bradley Manning, US Army intelligence analyst who was arrested for leaking classified Pentagon information to WikiLeaks, is likely to face trial in the US. Yet US authorities have very little legal means at their disposal to go after Assange himself, says Martti Koskenniemi, Professor of International Law at Helsinki University.

"The United States has little legal recourses, given that Assange is neither a US citizen, nor is he currently located inside the US," Professor Koskenniemi noted. "Those recourses will thus have to be other than legal," he said. It was, however, unclear what exactly such measures could be. Koskenniemi did not rule out the possibility that Assange may be assassinated or abducted.

"Perhaps some sort of a surgical strike," Professor Koskenniemi surmised. "Many of us have made the estimate that Assange has very little time left. One can, of course, expect that the United States will cooperate with its allies to deliver Assange to US soil," the professor said. He was speaking in an interview with Finland's YLE News.
