26. First of all, I said nothing about "CRIME"

I was replying to the sub thread and answered a simple question. I'm not debating anything, but if you want to know what I'm referring to, perhaps you should have started with the sub-thread in which I replied. Had you actually bothered to read the post you replied to you'd know what I disapprove of, so I really see no need to repeat myself. The Assange fan club is not who I'd chose to debate the matter with even if I wanted to.

As far as "CRIME" goes, Assange is under multiple indictments in the US and it's a pretty safe bet the only reason why he wasn't convicted in Sweden for multiple charges, including sexual assault, is because he fled the country to avoid prosecution. So if you want to know where's the "CRIME" a simple google search will satisfy your answer. Now if you want to pretend he's innocent, go right ahead, but you don't really do your own credibility much good by doing so. Obviously Assange himself isn't as convinced as you are which is why he never chose to argue his case in court and fled instead.
