alleged against him. it's hard to say certainly. sexual misconduct is taken seriously in sweden but few cases gets anywhere near the kind of judicial energy behind them as as this had so there's seems to also be other factors at play it may be partly the prosecutors and lawyers involved and issues of their careers it may also be that there is some pressure from the. foreign policy establishment in sweden and even from the united states that it's playing a role do you think that eventually will in fact be extradited to sweden it wouldn't surprise me if he is in the end. but i but i would say that he and his lawyers have a fighting chance of keeping him there and and suggesting that whatever questioning of him this week prosecutors want to do can easily be done by video link so many

critics say that once and if assad is extradited to sweden that it will be very easy for the u.s. to get him into custody do you agree with that i think that's quite right that it would be easier to get him to the u.s. from sweden then from britain the swedish government has has shown itself to be more pliant then the british surprisingly given the so-called special relationship of trust between britain and the usa and the swedish press has been and swedish public intellectuals have been less vocal in defending we could leaks than many people and many papers in britain so i think he's safe there why do you think the media has been reluctant to. print the openly cover on wiki leaks or cover it in a way that looks like the sun shines a fair chance there's been a lot of coverage of wiki leaks and sweeping. he doesn't have that

many high profile champions it's partly because allegations of sexual misconduct waste so heavily here that it is a country where feminist ideals that i may be stronger than anywhere else on earth and one wishes that that no one would be judged in any any case until they've been tried but there's so there's some hesitation to come to his defense on those grounds and then so much of our i mean here in sweden is owned by a few conservative leaning media houses particularly bone years a media group that's right leaning and has has every interest in. in not raising these questions and they are the largest player in the media market in sweden you wrote a biography of the swedish prime minister and it's no secret you wrote about this

that the prime minister has been or is being advised by u.s. republican strategist karl rove why one of america's most notorious neo cons and the man of course most credited with getting bush into the white house it's an interesting question. because the conservative party the called the moderates have plenty of macchiavelli in strategists of their of their own plenty of karl rove's of their own but rove has a long term relationship with the moderates already in the one nine hundred eighty s. he came to sweden to advise them and then he's been back and before the election two thousand and six and and even more recently he himself has some swedish roots and i think it may be partly initiated from his side that he wants to be involved in politics here and then what's the. the moderates accomplished before the two

thousand and six election had something in common with bush's electoral victory in two thousand the problem for both george bush and fredrik reinfeldt was to win the votes of groups who wouldn't necessarily benefit from having a right wing tax cutting regime in power bush succeeded so well in wooing working class votes that in the two thousand and six election. sorry that two thousand and four election. bush won the white working class by a twenty three percent margin so working class voters were really the backbone of his victory. reinfeldt acknowledged that he was impressed by bush's campaign. and. and his struggle was also to get working class voters to support his party

which they hadn't done in the past. and so it's logical that he would have wanted to bring in some of the people from from from bush's campaign to help with that and not least karl rove but you've said the method is linguistic innovations media manipulation and the art of bringing smear campaigns is that what sweden wants to take from a strategist like karl rove the moderates won the past two elections very much because of the negative image of fredrik reinfeldt supposin and in in both elections where it was very much the. weakness of the opponent people were voting against rather than attraction to. and how do how do accomplish that through different kinds of negative campaigning in

the in the broader meaning of campaigning that focuses on the did the deficits of the other candidate. was something that the rove has been very good at so so he would be irrelevant if i was there there another thing that the rove has has been something of a genius is finding. peripheral or prefer peripheral issues that will mobilize the great voter groups to support the republicans and and that strategy has has also been somewhat effective in sweden is it normal for call rove to be doing this kind of international advising no on his own website he notes that sweden is his only international assignment the moderate party of sweden is the the the only foreign party that he's worked for. so as

far as i know he's pretty u.s. focused person but then again it's mentioned he himself has swedish roots and he he may feel a particular application to be involved here or interest to be involved here how much influence do you think the u.s. on the whole from a song to nato to asylum seekers being taken into custody how long sleeved enormous influence and in a way almost puzzling only so at this historical moment that sweden should be so eager to. host nato military exercises in the north to. share. intelligence information at a very high level with the u.s. and nato that fredrik reinfeldt was so very eager to to

to visit bush it was one of his first major international visits after he became prime minister in two thousand and six. all of that is a bit puzzling when. the u.s. is no longer so central to sweden's exports for example as. it has been in certain periods when. when when european relations or to or to be more central to sweden in certain ways and all that this is a far cry from the suite in the one nine hundred seventy s. and early eighty's when all of palm a was prime minister and when the most important relations were often with developing nations with south africa with the south african freedom movement with india with the nonaligned movement so that.

the the once very progressive sweden has become something of a voluntary. apprentice state some would say vessel state of the usa and why do you think that sweden took those kind of policy moves i think a lot of it is admiration for the united states among the foreign policy elite in sweden many of whom whose members have studied at top universities in the us and spent time there and have. a good network of personal friendships in the us. that and then now with the conservative government sends two thousand and six those ties have become even stronger the motto of one of the young people's divisions of the conservative party over many years ways

. we would like things to be like in the usa viva la it is so me us in swedish so and no pin wish to see a more americanized tweet in which is exactly what we've seen thank you very much for being with us my pleasure. well when one deals with war for customer laws but this tremendous amounts of damage that are done not just human damage but damage to the physical environment in which the battlefield takes place and tremendous amounts of damage done by aerial bombs by napalm boy you're coming from the city whether it's more solid problems or tractor marine mammals or it's the burning oil field syria or iraq or it's destroyed coral reefs in the pacific for women purposes the list just goes on
