And with balls of steel, he proved this with the uncontrollably rolling Gemini 8 and the successful manual landing on the moon.

The Slashdot title is definitely misleading as jbeaupre points out.

I've read the police report, It's about a crime, period.
The accusations about the Swedish judicial system and about the girls working for the states are paranoid at best.

This is why Sweden as a democracy can't guarantee him anything:
http://www.dn.se/nyheter/varlden/asyl-till-assange-ar-ett-slag-i-luften

"Foreign minister Patino [Equador] claimed that it sought to obtain guarantees
from Sweden that Assange would not be extradited in the event of a request
from the United States. According to Ove Bring [professor of international law],
it would be completely unreasonable for Sweden to issue such guarantees.

- Who would guarantee that? The Swedish Supreme Court can't anticipate
it's own trial. If there is such a request, it must be handled the conventional way.

- The government can overturn the extradition even thought the Supreme Court has
ruled in favor of it. But at the current point in time, the goverment can give no such assurances.
That would mean that the government would overrun the whole judicial system and said that
whatever the courts decide mean nothing. That's not the way a democracy works, Ove Bring says."

1. The man Swedish police questioned was from Sweden the article states... 2. Serbia is not in the EU.... 3. He was questioned regarding a murder... Three fundamental differences that makes me question the relevance of this article.

Your Swedish-ex is right.
If you learn Swedish you'll be able to understand both Norweigan and Danish with a bit of practice.
Some Finish people (quite a lot of them) even know Swedish.
