For example - given the ample (and basically) record of U.S. authorities in regard to their treatment of so-called High Value Detainees -- and even of very low-value detainees at is borders, as we have seen in recent years -- the High Court had no reason whatsoever to lend credence to the so-called "assurances" they cited in their ruling:
The High Court said Friday that it had received appropriate assurances from the U.S. to meet the threshold for extradition, including:
Assange will not be subject to “special administrative measures” or be held in a notorious maximum security prison in Florence, Colorado.
Assange, if convicted, will be permitted to serve out his sentence in his native Australia.
Assange will receive appropriate clinical and psychological treatment in custody.
