Anledningen till att man förhalar är att någon vill det. Vem? Ingen aning. Men börja med att titta på hur många som har en teoretisk möjlighet att påverka normalläget och skapa denna avvikelse.
Sedan varför? Varför är i praktiken omöjligt att förstå innan man identifierat vilka intressen som dominerar det som händer.
Stake holders:
Anna Ardin
* Risks losing votes during the election if this case is viewed as false allegations for revenge or a silly personal mess. It is better for the voters to be confused and in doubt than to be sure she is full of it.
Social Democrats / Christian Social Democrats
* Risks losing votes during the election if this case is viewed as false allegations for revenge or a silly personal mess. It is better for the voters to be confused and in doubt than to be sure Anna is full of it.
Police/Prosecutors
* May be getting political pressure to put this on hold until after the election. May be getting pressure to convict, or to find something to hang him on so case can't be dropped.
* May determine that they cannot fairly investigate this case until after elections.
* Cases like this normally take a long time to investigate
* They may be so embarrassed about the media attention and mistakes in this case they are now taking their time.
* They know no one is going to let them simply drop the case for any reason, so it makes no reason to rush it.
Any Government or Business with Info on Wikileaks
* Any entity that has been exposed by wikileaks and wants the information taken down will be enjoying this. This incident makes for an easy allegation to make against Assange to try and discredit him. It also can cause strife and division within wikileaks. This would make wikileaks slower. It would be better for wikileaks to self destruct than for some external entity to take them down. Otherwise they would end up with a similar problem they had with P2P file sharing turning into a multiheaded hydra that is near impossible to take down. This is a gift to them that has been handed in their laps. They can try to exploit or encourage action, so long as they are not seen as major influences in this.
Claes Borgstrom
* He doesn't get paid by the state if this case isn't seen as sexual molestation or rape.
* He may want to do Social Democrats / Christian Social Democrats a favor due to political connections.
Assange / Assange's lawyer
* May know the women's case will not be dropped for any reason prior to elections. Waiting it out in the hope of a fair investigation.
Radical Feminists
* The ones who claim "women never lie about rape" never want to see any case dropped... because "women never lie"
* They think nonaggressive prosecution will dissuade all the other women who might have been raped from coming forward
