Apparently, the Swedish women who are crying rape changed their minds about what happened between them and Assange:
| Quote: |
Statements by the two female �victims� Sophia Wilen and Anna Ardin that there was no fear or violence would stop a rape charge in any western country dead in its tracks.
Rape is a crime of violence.
Both women boasted of their respective celebrity conquests on internet posts and mobile phones texts after the intimacy they would now see him destroyed for.
Ardin hosted a party in Assange�s honour at her flat after the �crime� and tweeted to her followers that she was with the �the world's coolest smartest people, it's amazing!�
Ardin has sought unsuccessfully to delete these and thereby destroy evidence of Assange�s innocence. She has published on the internet a guide on how to get revenge on cheating boyfriends. |

This is an opinion piece published by a former lawyer for Assange.
Of course it's going to place the most positive spin it can for events for Assange. I'd bet there's more to the story then that. |

Ye Gods, do I have to draw you a picture?! I'll try to make it so simple even you'll understand: Tried or not, it would cause me not a whit of regret or sorrow if this guy was shot. What the hell is "backtracking" about that?!
Look at some gems from Space's "sources":
Ardin may have ties....
appears to have worked with....
reportedly connected....
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Not an ounce of credible hard evidence. If it walks like a moonbat, quacks like a moonbat...it's a moonbat.
When your most credible sources out of that bunch is Cockburn & Counterpunch, well...  |
Wanna kill me, too? Try making a post without ad hominems. I think I'd have a heart attack. |

Juiian Assage does not like the US. This is why he started Wikileaks. I don't care why he hates my country, by which I mean I don't care what psychological damage he suffered as a child to bring him to his raison d'etre. As far as I'm concerned, he is a foreign enemy intent on bringing about the fall my country. (Like we're not capable of doing that ourselves.)
I've got no beef with the idea of whistle-blowing, but if the only whistle you have to blow is designed to tear at the threads of my nation, then f you. Do I care if the charges against him in Sweden are trumped up? Not one bit.
He's a bad bad man, caught up in his too-too-earnestness of what he thinks is right. My prediction is that he is not long for this world. |

I don't think America is the main theme throughout all of his activities, which you make it sound like. Here is some of his work:
| Quote: |
Julian Assange has been involved in publishing material about extrajudicial killings in Kenya, for which he won the 2009 Amnesty International Media Award. He has also published material about toxic waste dumping in Africa, Church of Scientology manuals, Guantanamo Bay procedures, and banks such as Kaupthing and Julius Baer. In 2010, he published classified details about United States involvement in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
|
I haven't made up my mind about him, but I do know that I object to most of his critiques who mostly try to label him as an "evil man", "traitor" or "terrorist" without backing up their claims with anything other than "American lives are in danger!". |

Anyone who thinks Wikileaks is specifically anti-American is way off the mark. |

Wikileaks is anti-Western liberal democracy in general & anti-American in particular.
Ordinary working-class citizens in the US should have Assange turned over to them & then he could be dealt w/properly. |

Which means "we don't like him".

Therefore they should be punished. |

Wow. I don't understand the venom directed towards him. I'm 100% with Fox on this one.

You have nothing to back this up. Nothing whatsoever. Nothing he's done has put the USA in danger. |

I meant "they" as in Wikileaks, but I see you just mentioned Assange there, so I should have said "him". |
