Julian Assange's speech at the Ecuadorian embassy

[Tiberius]

The Swedish authorities have vehemently denied that is possible under Swedish law.

Since when have countries cared about the law when dealing with people they despise? I wouldn't be surprised if the USA convinced Sweden to create a new law that allowed extradition of Assange.

There is nothing unusual for a country to ask for the extradition of a person accuse of a crime. My understanding is that Assange has been accused of rape.

Accused, but not charged. You'd think that a man like Assange would be clever enough not to incriminate himself in a interview, so how come the Swedes haven't charged him yet? If they have enough evidence to charge him, they should. If they don't, then I doubt interviewing him will lead to him giving them any evidence that could convict him. It's very suspicious behaviour.
