or extradite him without a fight, what with Sweden being a notorious US puppet
or, as AB so right points out, extradite him at all, since THE US HASN'T ASKED TO...... arrgggghh.

It's like banging your head against a wall made of tinfoil-coated retard, B_D

so are you saying its impossible for the US to ask for extraditon after Assange is in sweden?
If so, that could be the deal breaker.

No, but it's hugely unlikely that they'll be told yes.

It's ALMOST like I didn't post that article just up there
right at the start of this shenanigans.

And it's ALMOST as if that article doesn't contain direct links to the court transcripts in question that apeloverage was demanding.

Which would suggest it's ALMOST as if people were arguing half-baked incoherencies blindly in the face of straight-up evidence that they are being idiots.

I'm starting to have some sympathy for Rory here, I have to say.

It's not impossible to extradite anyone from anywhere
if the countries share an extradition agreement. however there is absolutely nothing, legally, that would make it easier to extradite him from Sweden than the UK, which is where he already was. In fact, it would be twice as hard, as it stands, as if he were in Sweden he would need to be extradited from both the UK AND Sweden.

So, his argument that if he goes to Sweden he is at risk is rubbish, he's at less risk than he was in the UK.

And he can't be extradited to face the death penalty at all, from either country, so that's just complete bollocks.

And anyway, no one has asked to extradite him. Which is kind of a crucial flaw.
