The post you are reporting:
Keith, he is in effect seeking asylum from Sweden, but my guess is he's asking for political asylum, because of his hacking deeds.
If he has chosen a country that could be prepared to allow him to set up an expertise ring of hackers, this could cause potential fall-out with other countries.
The USA has a lot of soldiers around the world where crisis are, and they lose a lot of men in the process, and this hacker has challenged the USA where he shouldn't have.
If, on the other hand, he were seeking asylum from rape charges, he must obey the Law of Britain, where the courts have ruled that Sweden's extradition request is valid.
When he came here, he knew he would have to obey our laws.
He cannot just leave an embassy and travel to an airport and fly out.
