When you set out to make enemies of the governments of the world you would be well advised to live like a monk.

Apparently it's a criminal offence in Sweden.

I think it's odd he wasn't allowed bail- especially when he had so many famous people willing to vouch for him.

Assange hops between jurisdictions to avoid charges. Sometimes he's traveled under guard. No bail would ever be granted to a person who had the resources, ability and proven history of avoiding prosecution. Not since Roman Polanski fled the US.
