What U.S. "Justice" Signifies Around The World

WikiLeaks Founder Said to Fear 'Illegal Rendition' to U.S.:
Lawyers acting for Julian Assange, the founder of the WikiLeaks antisecrecy group, said on Tuesday they would argue against a demand for his extradition to Sweden on the grounds that he might subsequently face "illegal rendition" to the United States, risking imprisonment at Guantánamo Bay, or even the death penalty.
