RE: BBC is reporting Assange will turn himself over to UK custody after speach
Surely not. I would imagine that he would keep leaning on Sweden to provide a concrete agreement that he won't get sent to America. Otherwise no dice and here will stay there.
At the end of the day, the longer he stays there, the better PR it is for wikileaks. If it goes quiet, they can release another batch, I am sure they will...

That can't happen, Assange is in a legal process, he is to be interrogated by Swedish police. If a politician made such a promise, he would be meddling in an ongoing investigation which would be illegal.
But....
1. According to Swedish and Brittish law, they are not allowed to turn him over to foreign state if he risks death penalty, so at least that is out of the question.
2. If Sweden does turn him over to the USA, it's the last breath of the current Swedish government, the public opinion is completely against it, it can't happen without extreme consequences.

Hahahaha...the "law" is arbitrary, they do whatever the f*ck they want.
If he goes to sweden he will be either a)assassinated or b)evacuated...take your pick. Mossad has no problem hanging it's assets out to dry so a) is probably more valid.

The current Swedish government is not in a very good position, they have a lot of pressure and needs a popularity injection. If they go through with extraditing Assange to the USA, they are done in politics for a very long time. They won't do that. Why would the Swedish government sacrifice themselves to aid the USA in such a small matter? (it's only a matter of PR).
Sending Assange to Sweden is by no means a "loophole" to get him shipped off to USA, why not send him directly from the UK?
It's extremely unlikely to happen.

If the Mossad hung their "Assets" out to dry, who the hell would work for the Mossad?
But then, Don't let logic stop you, Jew bash away.
Assange is a CIA/MI6/Mossad Asset, and I'm the Easter Bunny.

Sure they do mr. easter bunny. Tape of assets in dubai hit released, assets in iran, iraq, and lebanon hung out to dry. Don't let the anonymity fool you I know what I'm talking about. "Jew bashing"...that's rich.

So you don't think that's counterproductive in the "Spy Game", to have it known that you'll "hit" and hang your own assets out to Dry?
What incentive could a Mossad agent offer an Asset to get them to work for the Mossad, if it's known that more likely than not their going to roll on you?
Doesn't hold up to logic, but because it makes the Jews look bad, in your mind, it does not need to, Jew Bashing.
