(14,255 posts)but why would I care what Swedish people think about Assange?
That has as much relevance as my caring enough what freepers (who, um, live in the same country as me) think about Bradley Manning. Or anything, come to think about it.
Do all Swedes march in lock step?
Do Assange's problems with the U.S. have anything to do with what Swedish people think?
And why the constant and pointless attacks on Assange? To what purpose?
And, ya know, why wouldn't Sweden give assurances that they would not turn Assange over to the U.S.? Just saying that Assange has broken no American laws is useless blather. The fact that the subject was asked and answered seems weird, if it wasn't plausible.
It's not like Sweden turned down a request to not make Assange watch Faux news or eat grasshoppers. Extradition to the U.S. seems pretty specific.
