Assange Stands 'Real Chance' of Election In Australia 204
Okian Warrior writes "Various new sources are reporting the results of a recent Labor Party poll, indicating that Julian Assange would be elected to the Australian senate, should he choose to run. From the Sun Daily article: 'Controversial WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange stands a real chance of winning an upper house seat in his native Australia if he presses ahead with plans to stand for election, a poll showed Saturday. A survey conducted by the ruling Labor party's internal pollsters UMR Research and published in the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper showed 25 percent of those polled would vote for the whistleblowing website chief.'"

Australia? The county that plans to sell out its sovereignty to the us by blindly allowing extradition of its own citizens to the us for doing things in Australia that are legal in Australia but against the us farce of "law" without even being charged and given due process in Australia?
It's a fucking american 3-letter supercop agency trap, period.
I hope Assange is smart enough (and not vein enough) to fall for that fucking Acme trap.
