Sweden Defends Wiki Sex Case About-Face
crimeandpunishment writes "Mistake? We didn't make a mistake. That's what Swedish prosecutors said Sunday as they defended their handling of a rape allegation against Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. The Swedish Prosecution Authority said the prosecutor who issued the arrest warrant Friday did not make a mistake, even though a higher-ranked prosecutor withdrew the warrant the next day. A spokesperson for the Authority said: 'The prosecutor who took over the case yesterday had more information, and that is why she made a different assessment than the on-call prosecutor.' Assange, who was in Sweden seeking legal protection for the site as it prepares to leak more Afghan war documents, told a Swedish tabloid newspaper, 'I don't know who's behind this but we have been warned that for example the Pentagon plans to use dirty tricks to spoil things for us.'" We covered the warrant being issued and withdrawn yesterday.
I'm sure that the USA will do anything to silence the enemies of the state, and law enforcement in Sweden is all too happy to help. I suggest that a criminal investigation be formed to get to the bottom the source of these allegations and to see if there was any improper behavior on the part of the "on-call" prosecutor. If the law enforcement establishment behaved improperly, someone should lose their job over it. Or perhaps Sweden will enjoy the prospect of being the USA's hand puppet. Kinda like Tony Blair had W's hand up his ass all those years. If you watch the videos, every time you see him talk, W can't even keep his lips from moving. You wanna be like THAT, Sweden? I bet the Big O's a much better ventriloquist.
I'm trying to teach myself to set people on fire with my mind... Is it hot in here?
... watching the watchers? are you fucking kidding me?
The guy gets data stolen from people and releases it without any effort put into finding out if theres anything of value or wrong actually IN it.
He's a data thief not some fucking super hero.
I don't judge Assange by the accusations against him, I judge him by his actions. He's a pile of shit. How stupid are you?

Manning is in Kuwait? Citations? Last I heard, he was in Quantico, Virginia. Special torture facility? You're blabbering. Let's not forget that there are people out there who hate the US, and will make up anything.
The US has enough real problems, without trying to address the delusions in your tiny little mind.

Visit CNN or any other American liberal paper's site. There are tons of liberals who don't have a clue about Manning, but they are defending him because they believe he is gay, they believe he is going to expose Bush, they believe he is anti-establishment, and even because they approve of pedophiles. (they aren't bright enough to understand that the "molestation" charge involves a woman over 30) And, of course, everyone who opposes the war in Afghanistan "supports" wikileaks.
They don't have a clue, but they support Assange.
Actually, it's embarrassing to find so many fruitcakes "on my side" when I go there.
