His supporters  are making a big fuss about Assange. They are  acting as though he was special and should be allowed to get away with alleged crimes. Yet I will bet that if they had a daughter say, that had been attacked, and the prosecution service refused to take the person who was alleged to have done it to court, they would start playing hell about it.
I don't know if he was guilty or not, but, the truth will never come out until a court hears the evidence.
Personally I would not put it past the USA to have rigged the case.  Has anyone made a deep enquiry into the plaintiffs' behavior or situation?   

However I don't think the Swedes would be inclined to roll over or bark 'wuff wuff' just because they were told to by the CIA or any other American organisation told them to.
