WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States will continue to seek
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's extradition, the U.S. Department
of Justice said on Monday after a British judge ruled that he should
not be extradited to face criminal charges.

"While we are extremely disappointed in the court's ultimate
decision, we are gratified that the United States prevailed on every
point of law raised. In particular, the court rejected all of Mr.
Assange's arguments regarding political motivation, political
offense, fair trial, and freedom of speech. We will continue to seek
Mr. Assange's extradition to the United States," department spokesman
Marc Raimondi said in a statement.
