"Sweden cancels arrest warrant for nomadic WikiLeaks founder" by Karl Ritter, Associated Press | August 22, 2010
STOCKHOLM — Swedish authorities revoked a short-lived arrest warrant for the founder of WikiLeaks yesterday, saying a rape accusation against him lacked substance.
Julian Assange, who was believed to be in Sweden, remained under suspicion of a lesser crime of molestation in a separate case, prosecutors said.
The nomadic 39-year-old Australian dismissed the allegations on WikiLeaks’s Twitter page, saying “the charges are without basis and their issue at this moment is deeply disturbing.’’
WikiLeaks is preparing to release a fresh batch of classified US documents from the Afghan war, despite warnings from the Pentagon that they could endanger American soldiers and their Afghan helpers.
And yet it ALSO REINFORCES the whole notion and rational behind the wars -- as well as ensnaring any unsuspecting true-hearts, no?
A Stockholm prosecutor issued the arrest warrant Friday, saying Assange was suspected of rape and molestation in two cases. But chief prosecutor Eva Finne withdrew the warrant within 24 hours.
“I don’t think there is reason to suspect that he has committed rape,’’ Finne said in a statement.
Karin Rosander, a spokeswoman for the Swedish Prosecution Authority, said Assange remains suspected of molestation, a less serious charge that would not lead to an arrest warrant.
“The prosecutor hasn’t made a decision’’ on that count, Rosander said.
Molestation covers a range of offenses under Swedish law, including inappropriate physical contact with another adult.
Well, from what I remember they were supposed to have all that erotica, but that was a long, long time ago.
Assange was in Sweden last week seeking legal protection for the website, which angered the Obama administration by publishing thousands of leaked documents about US military activities in Iraq and Afghanistan....
Assange has no permanent address and travels frequently.
Hmmmmm. WHO is BACKING HIM, huh?
He disappears from public view for months at a time, only to reappear in the full glare of the cameras at packed news conferences to discuss his site’s latest disclosure.
Yes, and is it NOT INTERESTING that the NEWSPAPER is THERE to cover it and it is WORTHY of PRINT!
Which is STRANGE because here you have this admittedly SHADY CHARACTER bobbing up and down, in and out, while a RESPECTED GROUP like the are TOTALLY IGNORED by the -- I hate to say it, I do -- lying, war-promoting, agenda-pushing, paper.
Can you tell I'm JUST SAD TODAY, readers?
Between the MUSLIM-HATRED and the GULF GUSHER LIES I am really tapped out of anger.
A WikiLeaks spokesman, who says he goes by the name Daniel Schmitt to protect his identity, said from Iceland that the “extremely serious allegations’’ came as a complete surprise.

The intelligence agencies chose Iceland as the base for operation.
Think they can put the deep-freeze on truth?
Btw, that volcano stopped spouting or has the ash cloud simply faded from my MSM pages?
On its official blog, WikiLeaks expressed “full support’’ for Assange and said it “will be continuing its regular operations.’’
Hey, I'm ALL FOR IT!
Throw it all out there and let the truth rise to the surface.
Some hands will always be tipped and some truths always slip for propaganda to retain its credibility.

Now that is PURE propaganda.
And I'm sorry to say it, readers, but if you make the paper you are PART of the SHOW!
"WikiLeaks founder cleared of sex charges" by Associated Press | August 26, 2010
STOCKHOLM — WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange no longer faces sex abuse charges in Sweden after a prosecutor decided yesterday to investigate only one of two complaints against him and not as a sexual offense....
Assange was in Sweden partly to seek legal protection for WikiLeaks, an online whistle-blower that has angered the Obama administration by publishing leaked documents about US military activities.
Yeah, whatever. I no longer want to run down the Wikileaks rabbit hole in a MSM hedge, thanks.
