It would be interesting to see how much of this would have happened to some other ordinary Australian guy who went to Sweden and had the same things happen to him with two other women.
I can understand Assange being very wary of a possible US extradition request. There have been various other people who have been "done over" by the US at various times....though I admit the only case I have read about in detail was that of Howard Marks ( who wrote "Mr Nice") :rolleyes:. And there were some pretty nasty things done by the US there. All they need to do is get some overzealous ex-farm boy on Assange's case and he'll be history. Currently he has internet access, but give them a chance and the US will mire him in endless court shit and keep him out of action for as long as possible. I think JJ Cale summed up the mentality quite well in one of his songs :
If you're ever in Oklahoma
You better move around the law
They got fines and they got plenty
They'll hold you up for days on end
Threaten your life and take your money
Make you think you're there to stay
This part (if true) seems very suspicious to me :

And what was he doing hanging around with HER, anyway ?
