Re: Being a bit of a Devil's Advocate...
"However I read a piece in the Guardian that was from a Swedish lawyer (of unknown bias)"
That would be Sven-Eric Alhem, who used to be a prosecutor. He was also one of the experts wikileaks had recruited to defend Assange at the extradition hearing.
He testified how bad the case had been handled, based entirely on what he'd been told by Wikileaks. Then the court pointed to all the evidence, and he said that actually, Ny was lenient by not putting him in custody to start with, and he'd have done the EAW in her position, and that wikileaks had lied to him, but still defended Assange despite the lies.
He's lost a fair bit of credibility, especially concerning this case.
