Assange has requested political asylum & is in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London

132. The women did not charge rape. I have already provided their own words, refuting that

charge which you know. I had no more information than you did about this case, but unlike you apparently, I did not jump into threads spreading the smears before finding out what lay behind them.

What I, and everyone else who checked the sources and the facts, found was that the smears all came from super right wing sources, while the facts, such as the women's own words, came from reputable sources. I mean NOT Fox or Sweden's equivalent of Free Republic.

I don't see why after all this time, anyone does not know the facts, especially on a Democratic Board where the facts were posted many times when the story first surfaced and before the smear merchants scrubbed as much as they could of exculpatory evidence.

It is not wise to make definitive statements about anyone, based on rumor and innuendo regardless of who they are. I asked you to prove what you said. That is a normal request when someone appears to be so certain of something. But now you are asking me to do that work for you. When someone makes a claim, it is up to them to prove it.

I take it you cannot, nor did I think you could having fully researched this story from the beginning.

Again, so you do not make the mistake again of claiming the women accused him of rape:

One of two women involved told Aftonbladet in an interview published today that she had never intended Assange to be charged with rape. She was quoted as saying: “It is quite wrong that we were afraid of him. He is not violent and I do not feel threatened by him.”

And since no charges have ever been filed, not even misdemeanor charges, where did these false allegations come from? You say you are interested in this story, have you tried to find out who is contradicting the women themselves and lying about rape charges?
