  Thanks for the link. I agree he has his own motivations etc. And was already taking his info with a pinch of salt. It still looks to me like some of the major elements dont add up, like the release of info to the police, the dropping of the case in sweden, the lack of guarantee to not extrodite to the US. Could just be own biases but given the other information we have about the governments involved it seems most plauable that they are up to no good. If they are all acting in good faith and this apparent abuse of power is a side effect of their secrecy then i think its just as damning of the overall processes and approach we take (unless we dont really qant an open democracy)

  I can read Svenska, and I've been a lay judge in the District Court of Oslo, Norway for many years, so I know a thing or two about Scandinavian court proceedings. At best the link is inconclusive. At worst it proves conspiracy. Whatever the case, just adding papers to an already undertaken interrogation, could either falsify the original interrogation, or make it unusable in court. Further more, it could implicate the signatory, and that is of course why the one party has reservations against doing it. If there's visible tampering, the interrogation could be dismissed by court. And if not, they could be prosecuting based off false evidence. As for the party responsible for such tampering, she could at worst go to jail for document forgery, at best she'd be reprimanded for not being vigilant enough. So I'd say that's pretty damning. Otherwise I tend to agree with the Swede tpmx, who thinks these kinds of things are better explained by legal experts.
