This seems to be blatant character assassination and should be beneath an international political body.
He had the opertunity to speak to the weeds in person as they requested, but declined. This is the result.
If you want news from today, you have to come back tomorrow.
Probably because he's promoting the recent raping of SKRIT information recently released by Wikileaks.
COINCIDENTALLY, these two incidents happen around the same time?
IT MUST BE TRUE GUISE.
Yes, chairman, we will harmonize this affront immediately!
If The Man really wanted to effect a proper smear campaign, they'd announce that Assange took a job at Microsoft. That should get the last of the neckbeard holdouts to drop his ass.
That's not bullshit at all. A woman may say stop at any point during sex and you stop, you don't keep on going, if you do, I'm sorry but you're a rapist. I thought this was a pretty well known and accepted fact.
Better in Swedish prison than just disapear. This asshat has pissed off just about every country in the world, and out of the few that aren't POed only one will grant asylum. Imagine investigating his murder, the typical question is "Would anyone want the vic' harmed or murdered" and the answer would be "Well yeah, just about everybody!"

I hope the guy is wearing a Kevlar vest. He is lucky we have a wimp for a President.

No, that is not a fact, it is an article of ideological faith. Many - I would venture, most - people do not subscribe to such a nutty, black & white view of complicated relationship dynamics. It does seem clear, however, that the act you here call "rape" has only the most tenuous connection to the kind of rape where a stranger jumps out of an alley and holds a gun to the woman's head.
There is a middle ground between his position and yours that recognizes the biological imperative of the sex act and the fact that halting said act once it has commenced runs counter to millions of years of evolution. Human beings are supposed to have the ability to override our biological drives but one could argue that the sex act is one of the few times that we submit to them and surrender this control.
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
Excuse me, but I didn't raise the "I was so horny I couldn't stop" defense and the comparison to killing someone in a fit of rage is absurd. All I did was point out that it's not a simple matter of flipping an 'off' switch to override one of our most primal instincts. I presume you've had sex? How much higher brain functioning was occurring during the act?
At what point does it become rape if one partner changes their mind after intromission? After one second of continued penetration? Five? Ten? After the first pelvic motion? This issue is not as black and white as you are making it out to be.
