What motivates the outrage over Julian Assange's Political Asylum?

108. "only in the Saudi-Arabia of feminism will a prosecutor construe this as rape."

That's a funny way to describe Sweden.



Guess what? Based on their construction of their laws and her statement, Sweden's investigating him for rape (and assault and molestation). And at least one of his close colleagues, the Stockholm Wikileaks coordinator, thinks the investigation is justified. Interesting that someone who actually knows him thinks this.

The co-ordinator of the WikiLeaks group in Stockholm, who is a close colleague of Assange and who also knows both women, told the Guardian: "This is a normal police investigation. Let the police find out what actually happened. Of course, the enemies of WikiLeaks may try to use this, but it begins with the two women and Julian. It is not the CIA sending a woman in a short skirt."
