Why does Julian Assange want to go to Ecuador?

67. Again, running makes no sense if your claims are true.

That's what the British courts have decided, Assange is wanted for questioning, no charges have been brought.

Sweden issued an arrest warrant in December 2010. Those are charges.

Up until now, Assange was at least among people who spoke his language

Which is why he's trying to flee to Ecuador. Makes perfect sense.

If you are being investigated and possibly indicted for "rape" in Sweden, they'll hold you in prison right until you are acquitted. And yes, this can take years.

If you are an utter moron. Because the Swedish equivalent for a motion to dismiss would be trivial to create, and would have to be granted if your claims about Swedish rape law were true.

I fully understand that you love the guy. Doesn't mean he's perfect. The sooner you stop grasping at conspiracy theory straws, the less you'll be hurt. If you'd like any examples, talk to those of us who strongly supported John Edwards.
