Hm, perhaps, but what about other options? What about interviewing him in embassy in person or via Skype? Is there a reason that would be impossible for Swedish government?
No, I absolutely agree that would be a sensible and possible option, and I've read that the Swedish police have done it before in other recent cases.
I've not heard any compelling explanations why this hasn't been attempted, though IMO, Assange would be a fool to agree to it -- guilty or innocent.
On the other hand, there's little doubt that the attempted extradition procedure has correctly followed current UK law: it went all the way to the Supreme Court, and he was represented by absolutely top-class lawyers. So Sweden has the right to do what they're doing.
People have been extradited from the UK on 'European Arrest Warrants' for crimes such as drink-driving and theft of a piglet, with no prima facie evidence required.
