On: Ecuador grants Julian Assange asylum

If you're only a suspect, and haven't been charged, you don't have to talk to the police at all. Picking a venue seems minor in comparison.

In the US. Not sure on Sweden's laws on that.

At this point in the US he'd probably be charged with obstruction of justice, at which point venue is again no longer up to him.

In Sweden you do not have to be in the country for questioning, and JA has offered to be interviewed over phone or video link.

In the US there's the 5th Amendment to the Constitution.

Even if you know nothing of the law, surely you've at least seen a television show or movie where someone says "Am I being charged with a crime? ... Then am I free to go?"

That's all you need to say.
