1. Well, he'll be easy enough to recognize.
Edited on Mon Dec-06-10 02:28 PM by MineralMan
He's had more than his 15 minutes of fame, I think. An international celebrity he is now.

16. Every man accused of having a condom break during sex
now needs to be hunted down internationally and persecuted for a sex crime.

Right?

23. I need to start making a list. If I had a dime for every time a condom broke when I was dating...
Never occured to me to have anyone prosecuted over that.

24. Well, if we still believe in justice for all, women everywhere need to go to the police
and report their abject fears about that broken condom last night. This is only logical. Men everywhere in the free world need to be aware of the possibility of being put on Interpol's most wanted list henceforth!

3. ACLU: Prosecuting WikiLeaks For Publishing Documents Would Raise Serious Constitutional Concerns

Prosecuting WikiLeaks For Publishing Documents Would Raise Serious Constitutional Concerns, Says ACLU
December 1, 2010
CONTACT: (212) 549-2689 or 2666; media@aclu.org

NEW YORK – According to news reports, the government is looking into whether it could prosecute WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange under the Espionage Act for publishing classified government documents he obtained from a third party. WikiLeaks, along with multiple news outlets, published thousands of pages of U.S. diplomatic cables on Sunday. The American Civil Liberties Union said that prosecuting WikiLeaks would have serious First Amendment implications.

The following can be attributed to Hina Shamsi, Director of the ACLU National Security Project:

“We’re deeply skeptical that prosecuting WikiLeaks would be constitutional, or a good idea. The courts have made clear that the First Amendment protects independent third parties who publish classified information. Prosecuting WikiLeaks would be no different from prosecuting the media outlets that also published classified documents. If newspapers could be held criminally liable for publishing leaked information about government practices, we might never have found out about the CIA’s secret prisons or the government spying on innocent Americans. Prosecuting publishers of classified information threatens investigative journalism that is necessary to an informed public debate about government conduct, and that is an unthinkable outcome.

“The broader lesson of the WikiLeaks phenomenon is that President Obama should recommit to the ideals of transparency he invoked at the beginning of his presidency. The American public should not have to depend on leaks to the news media and on whistleblowers to know what the government is up to.”

5. the arrest warrant if for Sweden not the US. He isn't being
sought for the documents he's recently released but for an incident which occurred in Sweden in August.

But you know that.

14. It may be-
but until he deals with this, no one will ever know.

My own personal belief is that the charges wouldn't hold up in a trial. But that's my own opinion, and I don't have the facts.

Only he, and the women involved really do.

9. Just one more part of the international character assasination campaign against Assange and

effort to shut down WikiLeaks.

The Obama administration is obviously playing a major role in this co-ordinated international effort and getting a lot of help from most world powers including China, Russia, France, Great Britian and major capitalist ventures such as Amazon and PayPal.

15. oh bullshit. This is getting old.
If there is nothing of substance, why doesn't he just turn himself in?

The world is watching this, if the charges are baseless it will be over.

He's clearly angered many people. That doesn't make him guilty of the charges he's wanted for, but it doesn't mean that he is above reproach.

18. The avalanche of lies and slanders directed at the founder of WikiLeaks is getting old.

Why do you just except them at face value?

Perhaps you've never heard of government and police frame-ups of dissidents, rebels and progressives.

Is that what's happening here?

I hope you also didn't buy hook, line and sinker the "swiftboat" slanders directed against John Kerry.

20. I'm not buying into anything. He can end this fiasco by calling
their bluff if he wants to, and if the charges have no substance.

I'm well aware of police frame ups, corruption and the use of propaganda.

If you knew anything about me you'd know how I felt about what was done to JK.

He's wanted in SWEDEN not in Myanmar or N.Korea or China.

He has more than adequate representation and the world is watching. What more could you want?

31. Sweden...which participated in Rendition. And asked he be kept in solitary and in communicado.
You *honestly* believe that they issued an international manhunt over a broken condom.

The women both admitted the sex was consensual. The prosecutor had to go digging for an old law to find something to charge him with. And has yet to charge him.

But wants him kept in solitary and in communicado.

Oh, and by the way, according to his lawyer he's been *trying* to get the questioning over with since last August.

This is a set up and a trap. I fear for his safety and his life.

22. In custody things could be done to him. Bad things.
I guess you don't care. I guess you don't know imprisoned people (the types governments have deemed threatening to national security) have been injected with drugs, diseases.

It's not safe to be in the custody of people who want to shut you up.

You need to do some reading BluerthanBlue.

possible criminal charges against him.

17. I'm sure he is. But there are no charges filed against him, and
for his part in leaking US documents, and it will likely be very difficult to come up with any that have any merit.

38. Do you honestly think that will stop the powers that be from, at minimum, putting
him away for life? Have you paid attention when the U.S. has declared it's legitimate to hold people without representation for as long as they want to hold them? Did you take Obama seriously when he claimed he has the right to kill an American citizen who he deems dangerous? Damn, I want whatever you're smoking!

28. Me bad.
I think he looks great in the posters and photos. I can envision some very hip Assange T-shirts and posters ala Che Guevera worn by his supporters young and old.

I think the authorities are trying to make hell for him. I think his supporters should make lemonade and get the T-shirts and posters going.

not the official Interpol one. I bet we aren't the only ones either...that image could go viral, and I hope it does!

I'm Julian Assange!

Someone want to start a new "I'm Julian Assange" post?
