@Hans1 ... Re: Ah, yes, the famous "afraid of the US" bogeyman.
"6. The UK has absolutely NO SAY whatsoever in what Sweden does once Assange is in Sweden."
Uhm this is wrong. Flat out wrong.
Because of the EAW and extradition proceedings, if any country made an extradition request to Sweden, the UK would have some input on the request. Depending on the situation, they could object.
This had been pointed out during the first extradition hearing where Assange put forth the insane idea that this was a plot by the CIA to get him.
Again the truth... when this all blows over, if the US wanted him in connection to Manning's theft, they will have plenty of time to get him in Australia, assuming he doesn't flee.
Remember his prior bad acts as a teen will be brought up and used against him in Australia which would pretty much seal the deal. Maybe he wouldn't have ended up such a pratt if that judge had sentenced him to jail instead of probation.
