As I implied in my third paragraph, the people who make up secret police forces (or more simply political plainsclothes detectives) are unscrupulous individuals who act in the name of their organization, and use the most pained justifications for their actions. So, based on sane legal reasoning, Assange shouldn't be extradited. To carry out a policy within the legal frameworks available, it would make more sense to either invade the Equadorian embassy or get the British to evict Assange before the statute of limitations ran out. Although through the grim logic of power, it would be more effective to deny there ever was an indictment against Assange and call him a crazy white haired fool.
