Julian Assange Arrested in London
Sorry to interrupt your discussion, guys (and just when I was about to join!). But it's finally happened.
Well, Assange had been negotiating with the so-called law about a planned surrender, so we'd seen this coming, but still. I am saddened. WikiLeaks will find a way to keep on going, I bet, but I'm disappointed that Assange has to spend his precious time battling fake allegations instead of continuing the good work that he's been doing.
I hope Assange can avoid getting extradited to Sweden for that bogus 'questioning' about those bogus 'allegations'. NOTE THAT HE HAS NOT ACTUALLY BEEN CHARGED WITH ANYTHING. Because, you know, there's nothing to charge him with. How ridiculous.
And all the while, Senator Droopy a.k.a. Joe Lieberman is trying to change existing laws regarding espionage just so he can make up something to charge Assange with. Whatcha gonna do, buddy? If it's illegal for Assange to publish documents that were leaked to him WITHOUT HIS ACQUIRING THEM (as in, he didn't actually do any spying himself), then isn't practically every news organization on EARTH also guilty for publishing leaked political and corporate scandals from anonymous-but-verified sources? Like, I dunno, the Washington Post with Deep Throat, their anonymous source in the cigarette industry, or CNN, or Fox, or any number of news organizations that have 'sources' that willingly provide them with information, that they then share with millions of viewers. You can prosecute the sources, Sen. Lieberman, but not the news-people who're just sharing the news. Or are you telling me that the channels who aired Osama's tapes aired less dangerous material than Assange's airing of international diplomats' somewhat snarky comments about each other?
Sheesh...

Wait, he hasn´t been arrested for wikileaks
Quote
"He is accused by the Swedish authorities of one count of unlawful coercion, two counts of sexual molestation and one count of rape, all alleged to have been committed in August 2010."
i don´t know if it´s a lie or not, but i think they wouldn´t use such crimes since the punishment for them would be way to harsh
Quote
A court in Stockholm issued an arrest warrant for Assange on November 18. His lawyers have said the case centres around consensual sex with two women.
They may couldn´t get him for wikileaks, but if he does something like that, well...
And why was he in London? Didn´t he want to go to Switzerland?
