Julian Assange enters final stage of extradition battle

[MADem]

10. Well, shoot me for misunderstanding, then. I admitted I haven't been glued to this story.

Some have accused at least one accuser of being a "honeypot." (NOTE: I do not endorse nor refute this theory)...If that is the case, I don't imagine they hire nuns for that sort of work: http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/39394/julian-assanges-accuser-supposedly-tied-to-the-cia/

Assange himself says he was warned of a "honeytrap" by a journalist friend: http://news.monstersandcritics.com/uk/news/article_1664498.php/I-was-warned-of-honeytrap-says-Julian-Assange-memoir

If we want to get twitchy over terms, let's say "accused of" instead of "charged with," OK? Bottom line? Someone has a problem with the guy, otherwise he wouldn't be fighting extradition so desperately.

From the OP:

Assange is wanted for questioning in Sweden over claims of rape, sexual molestation and unlawful coercion made by two women he met on a visit to Stockholm in August 2010. He denies the claims.

"Two women he met" doesn't sound to me like his "best pals." Sounds more like someone who crossed paths with him, for whatever reason.

The guy apparently doesn't know how to talk to women, which isn't helpful to his public persona: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1339287/Gawker-exposes-WikiLeaks-boss-Julian-Assanges-creepy-lovesick-emails-girl-19.html

All sorts of theories flying here, both in this article and the comments: http://www.anorak.co.uk/256861/news/julian-assange-loses-his-cool-to-rape-victim-anna-ardin-wilikleaks-is-scooped.html/

Any further excoriations? All I know is what I read, and this story is all over the place.

I don't claim to "know" a damn thing about this.
