Assange's extradition not yet sought by U.S.
The U.S. justice department has still to approach the U.K. government about extraditing Julian Assange in spite of one of his lawyers claiming last week that an indictment could be imminent, according to British diplomats. There is a growing consensus among U.S. constitutional lawyers and other legal experts that Mr. Assange will be indicted. Floyd Abrams, the lawyer who defended the New York Times in the supreme court about the Pentagon papers leak in the 1970s, said on Thursday that the chances of a U.S. indictment against Mr. Assange were better than even. U.S. lawyers are sceptical about whether Mr. Assange could be prosecuted under the espionage act and suggested the justice department was looking at alternatives.
