Well, he has gotten away with some seriously illegal and ridiculous shit with Wikileaks in the US, so maybe he thinks that he is REALLY above the law now that he's in Sweden.
This guy seems like a real creep to me anyway, and honestly I don't think Wikileaks has done much good in releasing all of these confidential documents.
I mean, all he has done is try to turn the American people against their government, on top of endangering them at the same time by releasing CONFIDENTIAL documents to the wrong people.
In my opinion, this guy deserves to be locked up, even if it has nothing to do with this alleged "smear campaign".
