Sweden also has a history of, in violation of Swedish law and international treaties, black bagging political asylum seekers and handing them over to CIA to have them shipped off to be tortured. Years later Swedish military intelligence uncovered that CIA rendition flights via Sweden were still ungoing.
Conveniently we know of the latter thanks to Wikileaks, seeing as the Swedish government kept quiet about it.
I don't think Assange's case is a US conspiracy, but I also am not that surprised if Assange does genuinely believe it, and the bizarre behaviour of the Swedish prosecutor (which my personal theory is down to domestic politics - both the prosecutor and the appointed attorney for the women have a history of pushing for radical tightening of the application of Swedish laws on rape and sexual abuse) certainly would give him more reason to hold on to such a belief.
