And, of course, the real concern is-and it's the concern that Assange and his lawyers have-is that what this really is is just a ploy to get him into custody in a country, which is Sweden, that is very subservient to the United States, that is willing to extradite him to the United States or turn him over with the slightest request. And any person who has followed the United States, quote-unquote, "justice system" over the last decade knows that there's good reason to fear that, that anybody who's accused of national security crimes, especially if they're not an American citizen, is treated in violation of virtually every Western norm of justice, without almost any due process.
