Whatever label people choose to stick on him (I wouldn't bother with that one myself) he has questions to answer in Sweden and I don't believe minimising his crimes into nothing actually does him any favours..it makes you and others defending him look like an apologist for allegations of sexual offences. It really appears as if you want to make the offences look like nothing and Assange look completely innocent..if he is then great, go to Sweden, answer the questions, face any charges then as in your view and the view of people defending him, he won't be found guilty in a million years anyway.
As a result he can freely and happily go to Sweden. He can leave the Embassy and get on a plane this afternoon.
Assange is however little more than a hypocrite, seeking refuge in the Embassy of a Government with a horrible human rights record has exposed him as someone who doesn't want to do the right thing when his own skin is at stake. It calls into question his motivation in starting Wikileaks in the first place..this is a Government he should be exposing, if he was all that he says he is, not endorsing. I think he has damaged his reputation more by his actions in seeking this ludicrous asylum (in a country with no extradition agreement with..Sweden) than by anything else he could have done.
