Some of you lot are having the Mother of woolly hats pulled over your eyes
Let's argue the Swedish sex-crime case and it's merits once all the players are in the hands of the proper authorities to deal with it, for now it is about Assanges strange refusal to clear his name and go to Sweden.
You keep ignoring the official facts of the case and time-line as thoroughly investigated and published by the British supreme court, and repeatedly post highly biased, and unverified by any real evidence, suspect blogosphere crap as gospel.
The most hapless timeshare scam sales person would have sold you a whole block of flats in 15 min flat.
Assange went to Sweden in the first place to seek residence permit, he had found after extensive research that Sweden with it's strong stance on freedom and human rights and some of the strongest laws protecting Journalists, would be the perfect place for him to stay protected from the US and a place where wikileaks servers could operate safely.
As it happened the Swedes did not want him, and suddenly after the sex allegations Sweden has become the most dangerous place in the world for Assange, a Sweden where all the protections he based his original application for residency on, all those advantages and protections have suddenly vanished like dew in the Sun
Next we have the fact that Sweden cant extradite Assange to the US without British approval, so where is the logic in the US not already having asked for Assanges extradition in Britain thus avoiding any possible complications in Sweden?......... You are right there is no logicwell done, because Assange is brazenly lying there is no greater risk for him getting extradited from Sweden than the one he has been in all the time he was happy to stay in Britain, because the Brits have the final say on any extradition anyway
Finally in the line of facts, there still is no extradition request from the US, after years of the US Government's best legal minds trying to find some US law they could use to justify a warrant for Assanges arrest on foreign soil, they have found none so far, so the likely-hood that they will later is very little, and again then it would be up to the Brits.
So any speculation about any extradition to the US is so far pure fantasy, secondly it would not be a Swedish decision to make since any extradition ultimately would have to be approved in Britain, so the danger for Assange in Sweden is no greater than the one he he has been in all the time in Britain.
You freedom fighters, who will stand up for the oppressed and persecuted, when will you stand up in disgust and dismay, over the way Assange is mis-using Asylum and the plight of real persecuted people to pull of this con.
Assange is worried about one thing only and that is getting convicted as a sex-offender, everything else is blatant lies and deceit, his misuse of international safeguards and terms created for the protection of people in real life-threatening plight from murderous dictators and terrorist states, is just about the lowest and most despicable theatre I have seen, this con and the man Assange is way beyond loathing and reprehension, he has truly developed into a prominent member of the Scum of the earth.
