* Assange is extradited from the UK to Sweden.
* The daily Wikileaks news will virtually cease the next day. Some newsworthy Wikileaks releases will be relegated to the inside pages for a short while and then stop. Including output from the Guardian, the NYT and other Wikileak media "partners".
* Assange will languish in Sweden and then will be extradited to the US - we will learn via a page 5 news item.
* Business will go on. Wikileaks will be forgotten by the MSM.
