13. Not only did they not accuse him of rape,

They refused to sign the investigators report, and refused to participate in prosecution.

So, given that Sweden could question Assange at the embassy (there is precedent), yet refuse to do so...
And given that Sweden insists on him returning to Swedish soil...
And given that Sweden's case is shakey...
And given that Sweden refuses to promise not to hand him over to the US...
And given that Sweden has a history of being complicit with the US on extraordinary rendition and torture...
And given that the US desires to shut him up...
And given that a US prosecution would go up in flames before any civilian court...

Then it certainly appears the Swedish charges are merely a pretext to hand him over to US, and the US won't risk a civilian trial (with oversight and appeals) under the guise of "national security", so Assange will simply disappear into some US "black ops" hole.
