How can Sweden fairly prosecute Assange when they don't prosecute GW Bush?

Assange said he is innocent, exactly like an innocent person would say

By definition all people who go to trial claim they are innocent (even the ones who are guilty). The great thing about the trial system is that he will be innocent until proven guilty and that he will be tried by a politically independent justice system. At the end of the trial process we will know whether he is a wronged man or a dangerous sexual predator.
 
There would be no prosecution as there would be no claim that Assange is guilty and then there would be no case for Assange

The Swedish Justice System is not claiming that he is guilty, just that there is sufficient evidence to warrant him standing trial. The Swedish Justice System has behaved scrupulously in this case (unless you can demonstrate otherwise).

Now, if you wanted to claim that the women had been persuaded by the US to bring false allegations then that's a different matter.

Where ? Where is your evidence that there is legitimate suspicion that the charges against Julian Assange are politically motivated ?

Because the Government where the Swedish Justice system is working has not issued but a mild criticism against Bush for the 2003..

That is essentially the same irrelevant statement you made a few posts ago. It still isn't relevant.
 
By definition, all kangaroo tribunals claim that they are fair.
Even those who are not.

What evidence do you have that the Swedish Justice System operates kangaroo tribunals?

Everything I can find points to the contrary:

  • It's own constitution
  • Acadeamic studies which support the impartiality of the system and a lack of studies to the contrary
  • Sweden's actions in the past with respect to other cases where an attempt has been made to bring political pressure to bear
  • Sweden's actions to date in this case.

And this relates to the prosecution of Julian Assange on charges of sexual assault in what way ?
 
Watanabe said:
Manning is on trial (IIRC) and Snowden is hiding in Hong Kong.

So far nothing about Assange. No extradition request nor anything else. Or by the other way any evidence that USA goes after publishers? It's your calim that it is reason why they go after Assange. Like big Newspapers for publishing those really damaging NSA leaks.

So far nothing about Assange?
I thought he was surrounded by policemen in the Embassy of Ecuador in London..
Because he's avoiding court. (Pretty sure an offence in itself)

None of them applies to cases of suspect being involved in ..

It would still need evidence, though.

Yes absolutely and it's equally as unlikely but the chances of two people being invisibly "got at" by the US seems slightly less ridiculous than undermining the independence of one of the best justice systems in the world.
