I guess I just don't know what the US govt should do. The following may be totally off so please correct it if it is, however my understanding is that's it kinda like this:
US govt: We believe Assange committed a serious crime agains the US. We want him to come here for trial.
Assange: No, I don't want to go there for trial.
US govt: We want you to come for trial.
Assange: I don't want to come for trial.
What is the US govt supposed to do, say OK and just not let him come for trial? I mean, perhaps one could argue that the US has no legal jurisdiction outside of its geography and/or that extraditions, even of Americans who commit crimes in the US and flee, should be illegal. I dunno. Maybe the torture is that he was being held before being formally charged. I must be missing something because the above seems like how most governments would try to respond to someone who won't come for trial.
