"The British courts should just have thrown out this case because it criminalises journalism," says Stella Assange, the wife of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, after two UK judges delayed a decision on whether to grant the 52-year-old a last-ditch appeal against extradition to the United States. The delay gives Washington three weeks to provide further "assurances" that Assange -- an Australian citizen -- would not be prejudiced at trial or face the death penalty if convicted.
