Julian Assange has been
vindicated because the Swedish case against him was corrupt. The prosecutor,
Marianne Ny, obstructed justice and should be prosecuted. Her obsession with
Assange not only embarrassed her colleagues and the judiciary but exposed the
Swedish state's collusion with the United States in its crimes of war and
"rendition".
Had Assange not sought
refuge in the Ecuadorean embassy in London, he would have been on his way to
the kind of American torture pit Chelsea Manning had to endure.
This prospect was obscured
by the grim farce played out in Sweden. "It's a laughing stock," said
James Catlin, one of Assange's Australian lawyers. "It is as if they make
it up as they go along".
