Wikileaks Douchebag Facing Rape Charge
<http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9Bx0L3n3uAo/TG_VR0tqakI/AAAAAAAAIBk/qff49cseGWc/s1600/assange.jpg>The
story doesn't mention whether the accuser is male or female, so we won't
jump to any conclusions and assume his boy-toy Bradley Manning

is behind this. It's curious that this twerp has changed his appearance

recently. Julian Assange, the founder of the Wikileaks website, is
facing a warrant for his arrest over an accusation of rape.
The warrant was issued by prosecutors in Sweden, where the
Australian-born internet activist was on a visit last week.
"We can confirm that he's wanted. He was charged last night - the
allegation is suspected rape," said Karin Rosander, director of
communications at the national prosecutor's office.
"One is rape and one is molestation," she said, without giving details.
During his visit to Sweden, Assange held a press conference where he
announced that his whistleblower website was intending to publish
further secret military documents on the war in Afghanistan.
The website has already published thousands of pages of intelligence
information, infuriating the US government, which claims the
disclosures may have compromised military security and put informants'
lives in danger.
Supporters of Mr Assange believe he has been the victim of a smear
campaign to discredit him. The Wikileaks Twitter page dismissed the
assault claims, which first appeared in Sweden's Expressen newspaper,
as "dirty tricks".
It said: "Expressen is a tabloid; No one here has been contacted by
Swedish police. Needless to say this will prove hugely distracting."
Yeah, it would really be troublesome if this twit was "distracted" from
endangering more lives with his reckless behavior.News of the warrant
came as the Wall Street Journal reported that Pentagon lawyers have
concluded that Wikileaks acted illegally in disclosing the military
documents, and are now considering possible criminal charges.
Several officials told the newspaper that the Defence and Justice
departments were now exploring legal options for prosecuting Mr Assange
and others involved on grounds that they encouraged the theft of
government property. He apparently faces accusations in two separate
cases
