>In light of Assange's political activity, and now the astonishing level of CPS persistence in pursuing him, the Swedish charge against him appears: 1) awfully convenient, 2) increasingly implausible (i.e. politically trumped up), and of course, 3) not a crime until his guilt is proven. It was not "trumped up". It was followed up on disproportionately, but let's not pretend there's no substance there. And it's hard to hold a trial to prove his guilt when he's hiding in an embassy closet.
