1. All the U.N. Court will do is decide based on the facts.

Is there a legal warrant for Assange's presence in Sweden? Check.
Did he exhaust his extradition appeals in the U.K.? Check.
Did he skip bail on his friends? Check.

No one will save face from this, as much as they are trying.

5. I'm getting the feeling that Assange has overstayed his welcome...

He's the no-good, drifter cousin who you allow to 'crash on the couch' for a few days, and he never leaves.
