People, mostly American right wingers, have been calling for the U.S to have Assange extradited to the U.S., charged with treason and sentenced to the death penalty. Lawyers for Assange have accused Swedish authorities of secretly planning to extradite him to the US as soon as it has built a criminal case against him.

"Why was he not pursued with the same urgency we pursue al-Qaeda and Taliban leaders?" asks Sarah Palin.

The Swedish Prime Minister, Fredrik Reinfeldt, insisted Thursday that his government will play no role in deciding whether WikiLeaks' founder, Julian Assange, should be extradited to the U.S.

Mr. Reinfeldt told reporters in London, where he was attending a summit of Nordic and Baltic nations, "We should remember when we ask questions about this that these are legal systems talking to each other, not politicians. We should stay away from this."
