Indeed. I have several friends already who are too caught up in him and what he's doing to even consider he could be guilty- and I suspect one of them may even feel that guilty or not, he shouldn't be prosecuted.

At a minimum he's guilty of stupidity and being a douchebag at that.
Neither of those are illegal.
The only real questions I have at this point is if this is the 'norm' for this kind of offense in Sweden and if there is a hidden agenda to have him extradited to the US.
If this is the norm and Sweden would normally handle cases like this in exactly this way and if there is no hidden agenda (ironically, only wikileaks will probably ever tell us that) then there is no problem.
It's funny how 'cablegate' probably causes a lot of cables that are far more interesting than the ones actually released.
WRT the degree to which this is 'normal procedure' for swedish criminal investigations;
