I don't know
Authored by: celtic_hackr on Saturday, October 06 2012 @ 11:19 PM EDT
I still say there's something fishy with the whole thing. One has to remember,
that both of these women have stated the relationship started out with
consensual sex, but say later on in the relationship it was not. What? So for
the first three days it was ok, but then sometime on day 4 or 5 it wasn't?

No one sees a problem with this idea? Now it's entirely possible Mr. Assange is
some kind of manipulative freak. He certainly has a huge ego from what I read.
But, again, this is stories from the Internet.

But, I'm still concerned that Mr. Assange and his lawyer have offered to answer
the Swedish prosecutors questions in both Scotland Yard, and in the Swedish
Embassy in London or via video conference. Barring the fact he's already been
questioned by Swedish authorities once in this matter.

Then a month and a half later they want to question him again. At which time,
Mr. Assange has already moved on to London, where he offered to submit to
questioning at the Swedish Embassy in London, Scotland Yard, or via video link.
But the prosecutor goes for an International arrest warrant instead. Now, of
course, if they were planning on pressing charges of rape and molestation, that
would make sense. But this is an arrest warrant for questioning. Who does that?
Why did they wait a month and a half?

They issued a warrant for his arrest and dropped it back in August 20/21 of
2010. Close the rape case, then 11 days later a different prosecutor reopen its.
Then wait seven weeks, until mid-November to issue a new warrant, but just for
questioning?

I don't know it's all pretty bizarre if you ask me. Not that he should not
answer for anything he may have done. But it just doesn't all add up. Of course
we don't have all the facts either.

So easy to judge complete strangers through our own looking glasses with just
enough information to make dangerous conclusions. And if in the end it all turns
out to be a case of trying to destroy Mr. Assange, how does he ever get his
reputation, such as it might have been, back? You could ask that security
officer falsely accuse of planting a bomb at the Atlanta Olympics. But I know
what his answer would be.
