If I could catch him to tell him so, I'd be doing better than the AFP, so not much chance of that happening I'm afraid.

I thought you might have grown up a bit by now.
Since you obviously have been missing me, the reason I've not been around to comment is because there has been a death in my family and it has certainly taken precendence over the likes of Mr Assange and yourself.

That's pretty much all true UG. And I certainly don't get any glee out of seeing the US look bad. I suppose there are those who obviously will never believe that even though quite clearly, even in this little space, I have American friends. Why would I measure them all the same? There are arseholes in America that's for sure, but there are plenty of pretty special people too.

Our government is just as eager to catch him as yours is Merc. He's causing all sorts of headaches for those in power.
