Regarding the Assange Indictments It just occurred to me that someone can only be pardoned if they have been convicted of a crime. From wiki: "A President is empowered with the power to pardon under Article 72 of the Indian Constitution. Article 72 says that the President shall have the power to grant pardons, reprieves, respites or remissions of punishment or to suspend, remit or commute the sentence of any person convicted of any offence." So the Assange indictment may just be setting up a pardon for him. If there was no offense, a pardon wouldn't be applicable. This would mean he would have to be convicted though. He would have to go to court and be found guilty Thoughts? EDIT: JUST REALIZED IT SAYS INDIAN CONSTITUTION ON WIKI. Lol. I didn't change the copy/paste
