Here's the secret - Sweden does not like him either. He could appeal it up the courts all he wants but when you are in a position where you expose secrets the the public sovereign bodies do not want known you are going to be a target. Civil rights and due process are for when you have not pissed off the leaders of multiple nations and their intelligence agencies by showing off their dirty laundry. If I was from Sweden, went to the US, shoplifted, and got an extradition request because I committed a crime, I would not need to fear for my life nearly as much as Assange needs to. His is the kind of case where he "accidentally" ended up a plane to the US and "accidentally" disappeared after he arrived, and then six months later the FBI say they found his body halfway across the country in a forest mauled to pieces by an "unknown predator".
