Julian Assange, Scott Ritter, Stories "They" Would Rather Not Hear, and Sex Charges.

[Stinky The Clown]

All a coincidence.

I'm sure it is all just coincidence.

No CIA involvement.

No entrapment.

Just coincidence.

I'm sure.

1. Appears our Government officials are the ones with a preoccupation about sex.

[Odin2005]

3. No, framing people for sex crimes is just the best way to silence them.

People, rightly and myself included, HATE rapists and child molesters probably even more than murderers, they are considered by most to be the worst of the worst. Thusly, if you are an intel agency out to frame a guy to get them accused of rape.

[glinda]

9. I know. But I am pointing out the "sex" focus of high officials. As a charge.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

28. charge is sex with broken condom. on AOL: "Sex by surprise"

and the two different women who had sex with Assange (at different days)
both approached him.

There's videos etc to document it.

'Sex by Surprise' at Heart of Assange Criminal Probe
...
The strange tale of Assange's brief flings with two Swedish women during a three-day period in mid-August -- and decisions by three different prosecutors to first dismiss rape allegations made by the women and then re-open the case -- has more twists, turns and conspiracy theories than any of Stieg Larsson's best-sellers.
...
According to a police report obtained by the Daily Mail in August, she and Assange had sex, and at some point the condom broke. While she was apparently not happy about the condom breaking, the two were seen the next day at the seminar, and nothing appeared amiss.

Another woman at the seminar, a 27-year-old art photographer, said in her police statement that she'd come to hear Assange's lecture because of her fascination with him and his work. She can be seen in video footage on the Internet sitting in the front row during Assange's lecture, wearing a pink sweater and snapping pictures of him.

2. I always wondered if the Scott Ritter charges were a smear (nt)

[proud patriot]

6. Of course they were

Coincidence it is not

[EFerrari]

4. Bruce Ivins. Porn, obsessed with Princeton "girls", stalker

some people said, anyway. :sarcasm:

[defendandprotect]

21. Was this ....

the scientist who committed "suicide" ... ???

If so, didn't know they had also tried to smear him in that way!!

Wow --

[EFerrari]

25. Oh, yeah. These people are disgusting. n/t

[defendandprotect]

27. Tons of stuff I've missed, evidently -- thanks ...

But I do remember this ....

Two examples from the Washington Post:

It was around the time that FBI agents showed Ivins' 24-year-old daughter pictures of the victims who had died in the 2001 anthrax attacks and told her, "Your father did this," the scientist said. The agents also offered her twin brother the $2.5 million reward for solving the anthrax case -- and the sports car of his choice.

and:

One day in March, when Ivins was at a Frederick mall with his wife and son, the agents confronted the researcher and said, "You killed a bunch of people." Then they turned to his wife and said, "Do you know he killed people?"

Makes you wonder who the real sociopaths are

[malaise]

5. Meanwhile

Ensign and Diaper Vitter walk free.

[EFerrari]

15. Ensign is out there attacking Assange.

Their hypocrisy is unbounded.

[Smarmie Doofus]

7. They were going to drug Ellsberg with LSD just before...

... a speech. To discredit him.

Had they succeeded he *STILL* would have made more sense than the moral and ethical retardates running the US gov't then.... and NOW.

[Smarmie Doofus]

8. Oh... and Manning is gay, btw. In case you didn't know it....

... the NYT made a big deal of outing him in its hit piece posted earlier today.

[defendandprotect]

22. If he really is gay, that's one hell of a recommendation for homosexuality -- !!!

[Smarmie Doofus]

26. I would agree, actually.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x9692684

They ( NYT) set it up like a hit piece but actually I kind of like the kid even more.

[defendandprotect]

23. Didn't know that either ...

but you're right, he still would have made more sense than the "Know-nothings"

who have taken over our government --!!

[Balbus]

10. Scott Ritter isn't a good example.

That disgusting prick got caught red-handed. Twice.

[Stinky The Clown]

12. Please show us his convictions

He has dropped charges. He has sealed records. He has a bad rep.

He has no convictions.

"Innocent until proved guilty."

[SidDithers]

17. Were the charges on the second (third?) incident dropped?...

Last info I could find was that he was still awaiting trial.

Sid

[Stinky The Clown]

20. They appear to have been put on the stet docket

None the less, he has no convictions on his record.

[Stinky The Clown]

14. Should I assume there will be no answer to my suggestion that you show us his conviction record?

[rug]

18. He's awaiting trial in Monroe County, Pennsylvania.

May take place next month unless it gets moved to another county.

[SidDithers]

16. I think he's still awaiting trial on the second incident...

Wiki says it's the 3rd incident, but I'm not sure that's correct.

Regardless, I agree with you. He's not the example I'd use to try and make the argument that Assange is being set-up.

Sid

[defendandprotect]

24. Ritter is a perfect example of someone whistleblowing ... and smeared ....

we are presuming he's innocent until proven guilty, right?

[laughingliberal]

11. K & R nt

[get the red out]

13. Yep!

I was thinking about that last week.

[Warren DeMontague]

19. Finally, Andrea Dworkin's legal postulate that all hetero sex is rape will get a hearing in a court.

I would think that would have some people excited.
