I'm amused by the notion that Assange has to somehow be extradited to Sweden if the CIA is going to rendition him. The CIA renditions people by kidnapping them off the street. They can do that in London just as well as anywhere else in the world. If the CIA wanted to rendition Assange, Assange would have been renditioned by now. The whole Sweden business would only get in the way of a rendition, not facilitate it.

Perhaps they treat cases at the center of an international media spotlight a bit differently.

Yes, obviously they'd create as much publicity as possible around the issue, that way the disappearance would be as suspicious as possible.
