Assange is not setting the rules. The Ecuardorians set the rules for questioning in their embassy and the Swedish have no rules against questioning suspects abroad if necessary.

Assange is trying to set the rules…
He only claimed asylum when British courts rules he should go to Sweden.
If he was innocent why did he argue against going to Sweden?
He was in greater risk of being extradited to the US from the UK than he was from Sweden!

Because if he was innocent, why should some random person in Sweden, in office or not, be allowed to mess up his travel schedule, just because they want him for "questioning"?
If St. Kitts and Nevis were to file an Interpol Red Notice tomorrow, seeking a person going by the alias "youngtaff" on hackernews: would you drop everything and fly there to sort out whatever mess they've made?
