The guy alienates everyone he meets and eventually everyone he's worked with. Those who started wikileaks with him and the journalists who dealt with him on the US cables all came away with a bad taste in their mouth, feeling let down and exploited.
Many who knew him might argue that his fuck-everyone-else dogmatism would lead to something like this happening.
But these allegations, as is often the case with rape, have little chance of successful prosecution, as initially recognised by the court before the successful appeal which lead to the extradition request.
This is clearly an exploitation of golden opportunity by the US, they can receive him with ease and legally. Beyond basic diplomatic tact, there's no need to hide it, the man is wanted in the US and he's an alleged rapist, what else would they do?
