WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has called on Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard to bring him home just days before he faces an extradition hearing related to sexual assault allegations.

Australian-born Assange, on bail in Britain while fighting extradition to Sweden, is due in court in London on Monday.

In a video posted on the Sydney Morning Herald website, Assange called on Gillard to support him.

"There has been outrageous and illegal calls to have me and my staff killed, clear cases of incitement to violence. Yet the Australian government has condoned this behaviour by its diplomatic silence," he said.

1. It won't happen but I think she should.

'sex charges' like the ones levied against him can never be cleared.

All of the participants were willing and consenting.

2. I love the last line:

"...should the whistleblower website be permanently shut down."

Just um, how would that be accomplished? :crazy:
