Britain caving to Washington?

So are there any countries that are willing to seriously challenge American pressure?

Julian Assange’s lawyer said that Sweden didn’t ask the U.K. government to appeal a judge’s ruling allowing the WikiLeaks founder to be released on bail and that it was “confusing” why the British prosecutors decided to appeal.

“The question is why did they make this decision if they said yesterday that they were acting on behalf of the Swedish authorities,” Mark Stephens, Assange’s lawyer, said in an interview. “It’s fair to say that this is all a bit fishy. The whole case really reeks.”
