US denies 'wild' Assange claims of witch-hunt

43. the main problem with making such a promise

is that since there is no requests by the US that currently exists there is nothing for Sweden to promise not to extradite him to the US for.

without something specific they would more or less be granting a blanket promise of not sending him to the us.

meaning(and i don't think this would ever happen) even if the US were to give Sweden ironclad evidence that would under normal circumstances extradite people to any other country they would be prevented from doing so to the US due to earlier blanket promise not to extradite.

I don't think you'd find any country that would grant such a blanket promise to anybody(especially not to somebody wanted within the country and having fled it)

or to put in very short: each such request should be decided on its own merits.
