Cotton, do you think I'll fall for that old chestnut? It'd be mere minutes before the photo was shopped onto:

The first 7 I can deal with, but the 8th is just too much...

30 years ago, a trumped up charge and subsequent imprisonment was expected. These days its a lot more difficult. The advent of the online media and more transparent justice systems as well as a general cynicism for authorities means that its virtually impossible to get away with trumped up charges (except in Junta run governments that is).
So do I believe that this Assange charge of molestation and rape? Actually, I do. I dont think that this is a trumped up charge and Sweden drew the short straw. I think there is more to this Assange bloke that we do not know and that he has a massive chip on his shoulder about something. Not sure what it is yet, but there is much more to this story than we think.
Oh, and as for being a major pain to international governments? Yes maybe, but hardly the worst. All he has done is make a few people embarrassed with the latest 'sensational' leaks. Nothing new, nothing ground breaking and certainly little of journalistic quality in the first place. Tabloid-quality claims of information that we already knew - hardly puts you on the terror watch list!

The bloke's a w
ker.
He's making himself out to be some sort of hero by telling what are essentially a population of Neanderthals a ruck of stuff they don't understand or need to know and causing epic ststorms in the process. The info they are throwing around could start wars FFS.
Some things are better kept behind closed doors.

Without a doubt.But, if you wish to make yourself a target, expect to get fired at. He courts publicity, constantly putting himself in the public eye - well you must expect people to take pot shots as a result. Maybe the original case is made up from lies, I dont know. But I dont see Sweden acting in such a blatant conspiracy such as this.

UNMANNED WIKILEAKS DRONE DESTROYS AFGHAN VILLAGE
WIKILEAKS was last night accused of putting lives at risk after destroying an Afghan village with an unmanned drone.
Important secret experts said the attack by the online whistleblower was its most devastating since it killed tens of thousands of Iraqis in the search for weapons of mass destruction that it secretly knew were all made up.
The slaughter came just hours after the website, popular with paedophiles and smokers, published 250,000 secret documents that revealed, for only the 78 millionth time in human history, that governments are run by the sort of utter tosspots you wouldn't have in your house.
Former foreign secretary, Sir Malcom Rifkind, said: "I used to go to secret meetings with generals and ambassadors and people with codenames. Sometimes I would use a codename, but it really depended on how many other people in the meeting were using their codenames.
"Unfortunately, I can't tell you what my codename was because if I did I would be putting lives at risk in Norway and Burkina Faso.
"Anyway, we talked about vitally important things that need not concern your decent hard-working little head. Suffice to say we are extremely clever and the things we do are so breath-takingly important that we have to keep them a secret or someone with a codename will be strangled by a man in a turban.
"Do not argue with me, for I am Sir Malcolm Rifkind."
Jafaz Al Jalali, a trainee suicide bomber from Rawalpindi, backed Sir Malcolm, adding: "I was going to blow myself up purely because of your mini-kilts and your Bacardi Breezers but now I know that Prince Andrew may have behaved inappropriately on some junket I have decided to blow myself up twice."
Meanwhile, Julian Cook, professor of international news stories at Reading University, explained: "Everyone that America has been spying on would have already assumed that America was spying on them and if they didn't then they are even more cretinous than these leaks confirm them to be."
He added: "Nevertheless, the point about Wikileaks undermining the safety of soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan would have some validity, if only it wasn't such a humongous vat of liquidised monkey-st from start to finish.
"Because - and you might want to write this down and keep it somewhere safe - the key thing that has undermined the safety of soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan is them firing their big fking guns at Iraqis and Afghans.
"And of course that is usually on the orders of weasely little inadequates with penis issues who like to keep everything secret in a bid to make their imaginary cocks even bigger."
But sources at the Ministry of Defence confirmed that Professor Cook's comments had already put lives at risk in Belgium and Ecuador, adding: "And of course, he's also a rapist."

As ordinary peons our goverments want to know everything about us, I'm sure they would tattoo a number on our foreheads if they could.
Now a few inter-departmental communications have been made public and they cry foul.
Of course there could be some to come that actually are a little more damaging, I think most goverments are already aware of what and how America thinks. It's the American Public that could get a few suprises if there is some of the older stuff exposed. Like Armalites in Malasia. Thatcher, Reagan and the IRA collection boxes, or some Israel Democrat exchanges regarding Israel aid and the Jewish PAC.
I find it all a little dissapointing so far. Certainly not worth a Pulitzer (yet)
A rape charge is a tad convenient as the victim probably doesn't need to be named. I thought he looks gay ! I don't think looking gay is enough of a defence though when you have pi55ed off half the worlds leaders
Even if he gets off he'll probably find OJ Simpson to be his only viable golf partner.
Assume I'm in the minority here

Canadian Officials call for Julian Assange to be assassinated!
"Prof Tom Flanagan said Barack Obama should “put out a contract and maybe use a drone or something” to rid the world of Mr Assange. He said: “I think Assange should be assassinated actually … There is no good coming of this.”

Nothing of value to add, other than it's funny how often high profile blokes get accused of rape by women who were probably only attracted to them in the first place because of said profile. That, and I love the 'Mash
Here is an interview with Assange in Forbes that was quite interesting.
