Julian Assange's speech at the Ecuadorian embassy

RE: Julian Assange's speech at the Ecuadorian embassy
Quote: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.

Of course that's possible, but I think unlikely. Sweden would lose international credibility. I guess it would depend on the quid pro quo/blackmail from America. Right now,it seems Sweden does not extradite people [to other countries] for political or military crimes or where they may face the death penalty.

I have no reason to think that Sweden has acted other than in good faith. I do not know enough about either English or international law to comment on the behaviour of the British government. (apart from the bleedin' obvious; it will act as governments always do;from self interest))
