Iains, Assange is a complete and utter self absorbed creep who has thoughts for no-one other than himself.

I stated that Sweden under it's own laws and under EU Law is prohibited from extraditing people to any country where they might face the death penalty - That statement is correct - so for Julian "It's everybody's fault but mine" Assange to claim that he feared extradition as the reason for him scurrying into the Ecuadorian Embassy simply demonstrates his contempt for rule of law and marked cowardice on his part. He ran for cover and left his "sources" out to dry.
