Photo Reveals UK Plan: "Assange To Be Arrested Under All Circumstances"

Posted by timothy on from the ok-let's-call-it-the-assange-effect dept.

politkal writes with the lead from a CNN story: "A policeman in London appears to have accidentally revealed an arrest plan for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, in what UK media have branded an embarrassing slip-up by London's Metropolitan Police. Clearly legible in a zoomed-in view of the clipboard, on a sheet of paper headed 'Restricted,' are the words: 'EQ Embassy brief — Summary of current position re. Assange. Action required — Assange to be arrested under all circumstances.' It goes on to suggest possible ways in which he could exit the building, such as in a diplomatic bag or vehicle."

    You really are too stupid to be on internet

    Hmm, maybe you're from the past. Hello, time traveller! On today's internet, that level of stupid simply places him in the 80th percentile. I hope you enjoy 2012, but you'll probably want to pick a different decade for your final journey.

    America was founded on many acts of treason.

    I disagree. George III was a Hanoverian usurper.

    a spokeswoman for the Metropolitan Police told CNN "the document is not related to the Julian Assange case."

    That's cleared that up! Nothing to see, move along.
