Good. After this election I don't get why liberals still think Manning is a hero for helping Assange build his empire.

I think releasing the documents through Wikileaks rather than another organisation that wouldn't just have blanket released everything would have been smart. But that doesn't change that plenty of the stuff she leaked needed to be leaked. That morally it was the right thing to do, even if she took the wrong avenue to do it. Also, Wikileaks was a pretty well known thing before the Manning releases so lets not do revisionism.

Unrelated to that, this amused me.

Yeah, I've been wondering, if Assange actually follows through with that, is there some way/chance for the US to basically just turn him around on the airport and extradite his rear end to Sweden?

The minute he leaves the embassy the Metropolitan Police will pick him up. There's a European Arrest Warrant out on him. It'd be Britain extraditing him to Sweden. His claimed terror was always of Sweden sending him on to the US, which was a nonsense excuse. Sweden's extradition treaty with the US prohibits extradition for"a political offense" or "an offense connected with a political offense."
