There's no denying that. Wink

 
Assange is accused of sexual assault, he should stand trial for the charge regardless of anything else. It is far from being beside the point, it is the whole point. Even if he was accused of stealing a scatter cushion form Ikea he should stand trial for the crime he is charged with, not seek political asylum for an alleged crime he hasn't been charged with.

I agree. There's a lot of reasons to think Assange is a sleazeball, and I think he should be tried for this allegation. However, it's clear some very powerful people/governments want his head, and I fear the evidence/testimony backing his allegation might be "tampered" with. for the sake of getting him out of the way. As long as he is extradited to Sweden, and no place else, I'm mostly ok with it.
