I'm not certain Assange has "weaseled" anything in this particular case. Had he not sought an exchange?
The logic of this article would have Assange extraditing himself to the US in 2045 had Manning's sentence not been commuted. What would be the point of Assange handing himself over, in either case?
As it stands, Assange would be a fool to allow extradition now; if Manning goes free anyway, what use is there in Assange's martyrdom?
