Re: @Len After 50 weeks
Additionally the UK will not extradite for capital crimes unless a guarantee is made that the death penalty will not be invoked.
Not only is that not actually true, the UK extradites for technically capital crimes all the time - nothing Assange has been accused of and is likely to face trial is realistically a capital crime. I believe the last people in the US to be executed for espionage were the Rosenbergs and that was in 1953 - and they were stealing nuclear weapon secrets on behalf of Russia. Nothing Assange has done makes that standard even if the same standard applies - and it doesn't - and Assange would have a hard time making the case to either a UK or Swedish court that he was likely to.
