Back then, identity of the claimed victims and manner in which it appeared was put in doubt, and the story told also showed contradictions. I do not get the details together again out of the blue, but back then I only thought: this stinks to heaven, all of it. The whole story is in doubt, as a matter of fact. You may be so kind to believe that a justice system indeed is neutral and untouchable by politics and political manipulation - I am not so naive. Assange fled bail, because it is extremely likely that any questioning according to the rules would have also meant him loosing his freedom. I take it for granted that the decision of any court hearing was pre-written by political lobbying in the background, no matter what he would say and others say. The whole thing is very likely a plot to arrest Assange by the Swedish, NO MATTER WHAT. And if it was like that, then Assange hardly decided to strip himself of any freedom when he jumped bail and fled to the embassy.

You know what a plot is,m do you? And you demand him to play by the rules of the plotters. You expect him, in other words, to act stupid.

This all reminds of what also was tried against Strauss-Khan. Now, Strauss-Khan is a bastard by character, no doubt, and he has surely approached and bullied women in unacceptable ways and manners, on many opportunities. But not on that opportunity over which he was charged, and by wrong allegations of a claimed rape in a Hotel in New York.

The Assange issue stinks. It has "made in the US" written all over it.

And why Britain does not hand him over, when it is easier for them than for the Swedes as you claimed. Well, the Swedish plot was earlier, and it would draw bit too much attention to the dubious backgrounds if the Brits would opportunistically also construct a case to arrest him forever, or send him to the US. That's why they stick with the Swedish railtrack for Assange: via Sweden to the US.

Demanding the target of a plot to play by the rules of the plotters. I don't believe it. That is like expecting an enemy in battle to cooperate with one's own battle plan of how to wipe him out with as little own losses as possible. That would be a very foolish enemy indeed.
