WikiLeaks Founder 'Free To Leave Sweden'
An anonymous reader writes "AFP reports that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is free to leave Sweden, after prosecutors said there was no arrest warrant against him for an alleged case of rape. Assange said the charges against him were part of 'a clear set-up,' and that he had 'two reliable intelligence sources that state that Swedish intelligence was approached last month by the United States and told that Sweden must not be a safe haven for WikiLeaks.' The news comes just one day before the Swedish national election."
This assumes that you trust this self promoting douche to not be completely full of shit.
why do you care so much about random other countries?
Well, when the J man releases some FULL source material indicating that there is a US government effort to discredit him, I'll believe there is.
Well, I don't want to extend this sillyness too far. I looked up the word Shill and if you're right, maybe I'll be getting a check from the US government soon. Regardless, you gave me a 50/50 chance of being right on the impunity issue which was gracious considering my numerous logical failures. Your comment about my 'Further, you equate the embarrassment of a world power with the rape of a woman, which is ridiculous on every level' puzzle's me too so I'm going to presume that you don't know much about world history or world policy. Bad as a rape of a woman is for the woman and for society, world governments pay much, much larger prices each day as a cost of their policies. (unless you don't think the lost of soldiers lives is a tragedy) Your logic may be impeccable but you're realism, I think, leaves a bit to be desired. Let's end this here. I'm an American who is proud of the fact but not foolish enought to think that everything my government does is right. I am realistic enought to believe that if we all try to uphold the good we believe in, the whole world benefits. MY government should have had better control of it's secrets. Assange should have known that his little trist would do no more than the pentagon papers did to alter the events of the Vietnam war, which by the way, I played small but reluctant part in. How about you hotdog, have you ever served your country with anything other than your mouth?
