Stating the obvious
Naomi Colvin, an Assange campaigner currently with the Bridges for Media Freedom campaign group, tweeted: "Without wanting to state the obvious, if the investigation had ever been conducted properly, this [today's dropping of the investigation] would have happened many years ago."
Wanting to state the obvious: If Naomi Colvin is correct and Mr Assange had remained in Sweden to face the charges at the time they were made he would be a free man now somewhere where they (perhaps) do not have an extradition treaty with the US.
