It contains a series of legal arguments about why Assange should not be extradited, including claims he would not receive a fair trial and “be exposed to torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.” "

This is now the accepted image of the USA and the UK in the eyes of the world, a torture condoning, truth hating culture of corruption and journalistic suppression, does it not make you proud?
