In reply to the discussion: The Swedish Prosecutor Lied As Charged. Admits No Legal Impediment to London Interview w/Assange. [View all]Violet_Crumble
(36,379 posts)I think he's got some deep personality flaws, like with the need to control everything (eg the WikiLeaks Party in the federal election) and the paranoia, but when I read all this stuff about Sweden and stuff and knowing what the US planned for him and did happen to Chelsea Manning, the shutting down of WikiLeaks on Paypal, FaceBook and a bunch of other sites, his paranoia about Sweden extraditing him to the US is one paranoia I can kind of understand. I'm assuming that Sweden may have the same rule about extradition as we have here, which is that they refuse to extradite to a country where the charges carry the death penalty unless that country takes the DP off the table, but there's nothing to stop a country like the US saying they won't seek the death penalty and then turning round and flipping the extraditing country the finger because as those 47 Republican senators have told the world, agreements that the US makes aren't worth the paper they're written on
And if anyone in this thread has forgotten what politicians in the US were saying about wanting Assange executed, here's the full page letter me and 92,896 other Australians had in the New York Times....

But, yeah. I couldn't give a shit if someone wants to call someone who has questions about the whole thing a rape enabler. If they get bored of that, I can help them come up with some other names to call me, coz no name-calling is going to stop me thinking there's something a bit stinky about this whole thing...
