Strange comment .. He was already arrested in the UK, which has an extremely liberal extradition policy with the US. He spent a week in Wandsworth prison.

At present it looks like 45 years in the UK Ecuadorian Embassy: ""We will not allow Mr. Assange safe passage out of the United Kingdom nor is there any legal basis for us to do so," UK Foreign Minister.
