charges dropped

8/21/2010 12:29:06 PM

Hahaha is this the best they can come up with. If you're making up bullshit, at least make it child-rape. Everyone hates child rape. Or maybe say he killed a puppy. Bitches love puppies.

"I pulled you over because you've got a tail-light out."
"A tail-light out? Where?"
"Right... **breaks tail-light** ...here."

8/21/2010 1:24:36 PM

Yeah, it's a threat more than anything. "See, we can make up whatever charges we want. Next time we'll even plant evidence and bribe a few judges to make it stick."

Death to America (and man is the CIA getting sloppy)

When they release the next set of documents, all the news articles will say:
"Julian Assange, who last week was accused of rape, today released 15,000 documents..."

It's literally the "Did Glenn Beck rape and murder a young girl?" play.

8/21/2010 2:30:49 PM

Sweden is renowned for two things: modern flat-pack design furniture at affordable prices and being complicit in american criminal intrigue.

I don't.

"Legacy of Ashes" is so named for a reason. We're talking about a bunch of people who are generally drunker and more incompetent than me.

You gotta get the Mossad to do that kind of work.

more wikileaks related harassment

Quote :

"Just last week, MIT researcher David House was subjected to even worse treatment by authorities on his way back from a vacation in Mexico. House is not a WikiLeaks staffer, but he helped set up the Bradley Manning Support Network, a group that raises legal funds for the imprisoned WikiLeaks whistleblower. House has also visited Manning in prison a handful of times -- visits that were carefully monitored by federal agents. House was stopped at O'Hare airport, where his and his girlfriend's bags were searched. Two men identifying themselves as Homeland Security officials then told House and his girlfriend they were being detained for questioning and would miss their connecting flight. The men confiscated House's laptop, cell phone, USB drive and camera -- which have not been returned to him -- and asked him to disclose his passwords (House refused). House was questioned for 90 minutes about his involvement in the Manning campaign, others who are involved, his visits to Manning in prison and his feelings about WikiLeaks. He later learned that one of the self-identified Homeland Security agents was, in fact, with the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force. House also has not been charged with any crime and has no information about what he's being investigated for. "

It's pretty much understood that if you are an enemy of the state they're going to harass you at the airport. Hell they harass everyone at the airport. You'd think people would wise up and stop flying.

11/11/2010 11:30:31 AM

Like I'm going to take this rapist at his word.

11/18/2010 12:06:26 PM

Maybe he got wasted and date raped some chicks or something. Maybe it's just a politically motived smear job. Wikileaks supports will mostly take one side, Wikileaks opponents will mostly take the other.

11/18/2010 4:22:21 PM

WHAT??? ACCUSED OF RAPE??

WELL THEN, I NO LONGER SUPPORT WIKILEAKS....
