Julian Assange is hoping to run for the Australian Senate later this year. I plan to vote for him if I can.
Does he have to be in Australia to run, or can he be do it from a living room in a London flat?

He has registered his Wikileaks party, that is all I know. I have no idea if he wishes to be back home or not, or even if he will be.

The people have a right to know what its government is doing in their name. Especially, if what its doing, is illegal.Despite the efforts of some misguided trollish ignorant dip shits to praise that scum bag, Julian Assange, the reality is:
Assange was busy making decisions that were not his to make, breaking laws to do it and overtly indifferent to who could get hurt as a consequence of his illegal and unauthorized behavior.
I do hope he gets captured and that the DoJ prosecutes him to the fullest extent of the law.
coming from disinformation agent troll LIAR ABILITY, who is NOW posting under a sock puppet,everybody should believe now that this guy IS a hero and the only one trolling is HIM.that kind of logic Bill posted here is too much logic and common sense for troll LIAR abaility to comprehend.

Not really. BA did things to deliberately hurt this country, kind of what you're trying to do now, by making it okay to cover up crimes by the government. It is people like you, that allowed things like the Holocaust to happen. Because if you had seen the death camps, according to your logic, it would be illegal to tell anyone about it.Benedict Arnold would consider you a kindred spirit.
What's the difference between Julian Assange and Daniel Elsberg?

Nixon would've of loved you!The people have a right to have their classified information remain classified without unilateral decisions about that being made by unauthorized shit-holes like Assange.
Dick Nixon would DEFINETLY love LIAR ability.
2 birds of a feather.

You are a bit confused. Julian Assange broke no laws in America, he's not an American. The DOJ isn't trying to capture him. He is not in Ecuador hiding from Americans. He's hiding from the Swedes. He's wanted in Sweden for sexual assault and it is Sweden that is trying to extradite him. The British are assisting Sweden, but the United States has nothing to say in the matter.

The South American country's decision to grant political asylum to the 41-year-old Australian, who faces allegations of sexual assault in Sweden, has provoked a bitter political row between Quito and London.

The confusion is all yours.
Assange appears to have absolutely broken U.S. law.
Ever hear of Espionage Act of 1917?
Do some research before spouting off next time. For example, even BASIC research would have revealed to you the following: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/08/world/08leak.html?_r=0
Had you done even that limited amount of digging, you could have avoided making your absurd and erroneous assertion.

Your article is from 2010. The article itself states that the DOJ is STUDYING whether charges could be filed. Were they? In the three years since your article was written and now what charges in the US have been filed against Julian Assange? How about NONE. Is Julian Assange charged with violations of the Espionage Act? No. Bradley Manning is, but Julian Assange is not. He's not an American citizen. He isn't wanted in the United States and the extradition that is being sought against him has nothing to do with the United States. He's wanted by the Swedish.
You are not entitled to your own facts. The fact is, the United States is not trying to extradite him for anything.

Funny he can break a law of a country he wasn't even in at the time the 'crime' was committed.

Not funny and not difficult at all.
Your ignorance is on public display, you moron.
Surely you can't now think that Julian Assange has been indicted in the US and the US is trying to extradite him from Ecuador.
Here's what happened with Assange's extradition. Where is the US?

Your "question" doesn't flow from anything I have said.
I have not said that the U.S. has yet indicted the fucking bastard. His ATTORNEY evidently says so, but that's not something I have said.
Try to keep up.
What I maintain is that it is absolutely possible that Assange's behavior IS criminal under U.S. law and that he does face the prospect of criminal prosecution. That would be GREAT.
I'd love to see him prosecuted.
Assange broke no US laws. There is no prospect of criminal prosecution no matter how much you think there should be. If there was, Assange would have been prosecuted by now.
He's a creep, and an asshole, he should be strung up on general principle, there just isn't a law to make him do it. IF he had conspired with Manning and encouraged him to steal military secrets and give those secrets to Assange, then Julian Assange would be indicted under a charge of conspiracy to commit espionage. It didn't happen that way, Manning stole the military secrets and gave them to Assange.

Julian Assange issued this statement Friday, July 25, 2013:
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said in a telephone press conference Friday that if Manning is convicted of aiding the enemy, it will be "the end of national security journalism in the United States."
He accused the Obama administration of a "war on whistleblowers" and a "war on journalism." Jury Deliberates in GI's Wikileaks Trial
Julian Assange compromised the security of over 320,000,000 people who live in the United States of America. Those who work against our security will be held accountable, and Mr. Assange did just that. He may be able to run, but like his old friend Osama bin Laden, who benefitted from his unconscionable espionage, he will not be able to hide.

YOUR "assurance" that he broke no U.S. laws is lacking in support.
By his own words and actions, he sure as hell broke U.S. laws.
