In reply to the discussion: Why does Julian Assange want to go to Ecuador? [View all]jeff47

Oh, and didn't our little conversation start with your claim that you know how the law works in Sweden?
Yes. It was followed by your claim that Sweden's rape laws were copies of US law, just like everywhere else on the planet.
So, show me Sweden's rape laws so you can point out how they do not cover these acts.
Btw, if they didn't, then this trial would have lasted less than a day and it becomes even more silly that Assange has been fighting so hard to avoid trial. Which means you're gonna have to move on to claiming Swedish courts are corrupt soon.
Put up or shut up.
Right back at ya.

As far as I remember, the bombing of Libya happened more like 198 days rather than years ago

Well, he certainly probably assaulted more women, if you count that as an "accomplishment".
