Swedish Court Orders Detention of Wikileaks Founder Assange
An anonymous reader writes "Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is likely to be detained for questioning over his alleged connection to a rape case. The Director of Prosecution, Marianne Ny, has requested the District Court of Stockholm to detain Assange, claiming that they have not been able to meet with him to accomplish the interrogations. 'I request the district court of Stockholm to detain Mr Assange in his absence, suspected of rape, sexual molestation and unlawful coercion,' Ny said in a statement."
He could have done everything he's done, without anyone in the world ever connecting it to the name Assange. The fact that he chose to sign his name to Wikileaks is all I need to make the case that he's an arrogant asswipe.
With the damage that this guy has attempted to do to the US war effort I'm surprised that he hasn't been "hit by a car" yet. Seriously, hes a direct threat to US interests, if he was doing the same thing with any other power on earth they would have killed the guy already. Just look at anyone who has ever blown the whistle on Russia. Agree with what hes doing or not, if you repeatedly release secret documents from any country you better expect them to come after you. Its just self preservation.
