U.K. Court Defers Ruling on WikiLeaks Founder's Extradition 
------------------------------------------------------------



A British court has deferred a final decision on Wiki Leaks founder
Julian Assange's appeal of a court order that he be extradited to Sweden
to face questioning over sexual crimes allegations by two women.
Assange’s attorney has argued Assange's accusers may have found their
contact with him "disrespectful," but say his actions do not amount to
crimes in England and therefore his extradition must be blocked. On
Wednesday, a judicial panel said it would decide on the case at a later
date.
