I mean, lets cover EVERY scenario.  Even the far fetched.

1) The UK denies to send him to Sweden.

Winners: Assange & Wikileaks

2) The UK sends him to Sweden, and he's let go.

Winners: Assange & Wikileaks

3) The UK sends him to Sweden and he's put in jail.

Winners: Assange & Wikileaks, even if he really is guilt, too many conspiracy theorests like you wouldn't believe it, so it only helps wikileaks and makes it look like they're persecuted.

4) The UK sends him to Sweeden and he is sent to the US and is found innocnet.

Winners:  Assange and Wikileaks.

5) The UK sends him to Sweeden, and to the US and he is put to death.

Winner: Wikileaks.  They have other members, and now they have a marytr who was killed under a law literally no legal expert said he would be found guilty over.  This is their biggest win yet.

6) He is killed somewhere enroute.

Winner: Wikileaks.  Again, they have their own martyr.

 

Where in this was there the least bit of benefit for the US government or Sweden?  People pretty much ALWAYS side with the accused on rape charges anyway, famous or not.  It's like the WORST crime you could try and frame someone for because even most people who comit the crime get off and get a pat on their back.

 

I have to wonder you list Assange and Wikileaks as the 'winner', you've partially explained what is means to be the winner but you haven't explained what it means to be the loser. And a winner to whom? To every man women and child on the face of this earth? Certainly not to US diplomats (and you I suspect). And I'm not sure which people you are referring to when you say 'people' always side with the accused on rape. Rape is a very serious crime, this is well understood in virtually all circles. Don't know who you've been hanging around with!

Society.  I mean, do you know what the rape conviction rate is in Sweden.  8% of trials that go to court.

How many rape cases does Sweden prosecute?  13%.  What is the false reporting rate of rape?  2%.

So of the best 13% of cases involving rape... only 8% of that 13% are found guilty.

So for every 100 rapes reported... 1 person is found guilty. 

 

Also, umm.... have you missed this entire thread where everybody has jumped on the accusors with absolutely no proof of a conspiracy or even a hinting of it being the case, using every tabloidesque half truth reporting thing they've seen to try and protect an accused rapist?

This pretty much sums it all up.

The article and links it provides pretty much show why most people should be ashamed of themselves.
