Wikileaks Founder Arrested In London

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the that-didn't-take-long dept.

CuteSteveJobs writes "The founder of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, has been arrested by London police on behalf of Swedish authorities on allegation of rape. Assange has admitted that he is exhausted by the ongoing battle against authorities. The Swiss Government has confiscated $37K in his Swiss Bank account. PayPal and Mastercard have frozen Wikileak's accounts, hampering Wikileaks from raising any more funds."

    First, I agree that those are stupid laws you referenced.

    But what I do have to tell you is this. "The problem with the Texas law is that it requires "the average person" to apply their own "standards" (read: right wing christians dictate what's decent; Clearly a loophole bypassing Church/State separation)."

    There is NO law on separation of Church and State, it was in a letter AND it is often used far out of context. The original intent was ONLY to keep the government OUT of church business and NOT the other way around.
