Julian Assange may have lost the first round in his extradition battle, but not the war. Judge Howard Riddle felt that Assange could get a fair trial in Sweden and said his extradition to Sweden would not violate his human rights.
Assange's lawyers plan to appeal the decision. They have seven days to lodge a notice of appeal and the hearing should take place within a period of 40 days after that, but may stretch to three to four months.

When HBGary CEO Aaron Barr said he had discovered the identities of key members of Anonymous, he did this to provoke an attack from Anonymous, and he got one. Anonymous retaliated by compromising his servers, downloading and posting online over 50,000 emails from the company and defacing the HBGary website by replacing it with an image explaining their reason.
Among the emails is a report titled 'The WikiLeaks Threat'. It was commissioned by the law firm Hunton And Williams on behalf of Bank of America and details an extensive plan for the internet security companies HBGary Federal, Palantir Technologies and Berico Technologies to bring down WikiLeaks.
