Assange for the last 4 years: "interview me here in the embassy! Any time! Bring it on!"

Assange's supporters for the last 4 years: "Just interview him there in the embassy! What's the big deal?"

Sweden last week: "OK, we'll interview you at the embassy. We understand you are around most of the time, so when would be a good time for us to stop by?"

Assange now: "Ummmm....... hold on a minute. It's not quite that simple...... don't be booking any flights just yet......"

Almost as though he has something to hide......

How often have we heard that Sweden isn't playing fair by not running their justice system the same way we do? Will Assange be the recipient of the same complaint?

"My client is not satisfied that the files handed over to him by the Swedish prosecutor are complete. Specifically, the details of the plan to extraordinarily render him back to the USA for immediate execution are absent. There will therefore be no interview at this point in time".

Well, if Assange wants to stay isolated, that's his choice, I guess. He'll still have a problem for jumping bail in the U.K.
