    Doesn't sound like he is guilty of anything in this case to me. I may not approve of him releasing the docs on his site, but he didn't do anything wrong here from what I read. There may be more to the story. Maybe not.

    The whole thing stinks and the timing of it makes it that much more obvious.

    There was some reports that he was seen with the accuser at lunch or something long after the arrest warrant came out. But that might just be good news.

    They're just making him a martyr. He's not a one guy operation, it won't send a message to anyone, and I'm sure there are others who'll carry on in his name. I don't think the US stands to benefit from this if this is indeed a ploy.

    That article is waaaaaaay too long. The whole thing could have been summed up by the title of this thread.

    The guy apparently has a "doomsday file" that would be released in the event that he is imprisoned or killed. He's already released information about locations the US considers critical to national security and infrastructure. I can only imagine this has something to do with national intelligence personnel data or intelligence collection assets and procedures, because if it were just something he considered immoral I think he would have plans to release it anyway.

    It's just a coincidence that the day after the US declared war on him, this charge was made. Also a coincidence that in the couple of weeks since then, Amazon and other servers dumped Wikileaks, PayPal dumped it, a few countries banned it, and American politicians made threats against the NY Times for espionage.

    Actually, reading that story paints one of his accusers thusly:

    ...which sounds like a pretty bruised ego rather than a non-coincidental conspiracy.

    No, I'm being legit. I know it's pretty obvious now that I think about it but I'm just an innocent boy.

    I really don't like Assange. I think that the US and consumers have every right to pressure companies like Amazon and PayPal not to deal with Wikileaks...

    But if the story is true about how it all went down with the charges against Assange, it shows that the system in that country is broken. He clearly seems to be getting treated unfairly.

    I don't buy that it's the US, though, somehow helping this charge along. It seems much more likely to me that a couple of women just didn't like getting "played" and they decided to do something (that may or may not be legal) about it.
