I'm not saying that the Swedes are fanatical at all. Just that the idea that they CAN'T extradite (or let the US render) him to the US is delusional. A country can do whatever someone won't go to war over. That's the ultimate determining factor, "will someone invade/bomb/whatever us for this?" and if the answer is no, the country is free to do so! Remember that there was little/no international support for the US starting wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, but the US did so anyhow and since nobody has invaded the US for doing so, it seems that the US has "gotten away with it" at least so far as international law is concerned. Finally it doesn't have to be that the Swedes desperately want Assange to be extradited, but merely that someone from the US is pressuring them to keep reminding the world that "Assange isn't a good guy" from time to time. I'm not saying Assange is innocent, either. I honestly don't know. But to think that the US has an interest in hindering him, well, that's not unreasonable at all.
