and it seemed vf accepted that.
i think i can pretty much guarantee that when the Swedish prosecutors decided tpb should be prosecuted, everyone including myself voiced an opinion that the Swedish prosecutors were incompetent, inept and in no way able to tell right from wrong based on them prosecuting tpb.
did i miss something, did something change over the last year that made them capable and intelligent?
a quote from vf's source.
the bold text made me chuckle
we know people can smeared, we see it happen every day but that doesn't mean every time some one we like or think of as "my hero" is automatically being smeared when allegations are brought against them.
if i'm being fair, i would say the odds are, it was a smear or ruse to get money. but fairness isn't the name of the game. the outcome is.
i also found this part from the same source a little sad;
like i say. i think wiki leaks a good thing, i just think with this one they need to reall take care not to print anything that could cause someone to die.
Quote:To be fair, it wasn't Velvet who did that. It was the Swedish Prosecutor, who possessed far more of the facts than we do, who decided there was "[no] reason to suspect that he has committed rape" ie. that the allegations were not even plausible enough to be worth questioning him about.

Quote:"Speaking anonymously, she said each had had voluntary relations with Assange: "The responsibility for what happened to me and the other girl lies with a man who had attitude problems with women."

Quote:US generals have accused WikiLeaks of wholesale leaking that does too little to protect informants and the identities of Afghan villagers who co-operated with US and British forces.yes soldiers do have blood on their hands. i just hope he ends up with none on his because he/they didn't take the time to weed out info that could harm real people.
Assange has riposted that it is US soldiers who have "blood on their hands" and he is seeking to edit sensitive files before posting them online.
