It's also highly unusual for INTERPOL to involve itself in a rape case (not that they shouldn't)

I've told the police where WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is hiding.

Well, I'm sure he would've done the same thing for anyone else.

What, you mean that sentiment isn't universal?

Who knew?

Default Julian Assange arrested

http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/europe...pt=T1&iref=BN1

Quote:
London (CNN) -- WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was arrested Tuesday in London on a Swedish warrant, London's Metropolitan Police said.
Quote:
Sweden first issued the arrest warrant for Assange in November, saying he is suspected of one count of rape, two counts of sexual molestation and one count of unlawful coercion -- or illegal use of force -- allegedly committed in August.
What would they do to him now
maybe an accident in prison?

I photoshopped a Wikileaks page, and left my laptop open.
Now my kids know there's no Santa Claus and will get bugga all.
Saved me a packet, and that pr!ck Julian Assange takes the blame.
Merry Christmas!

Biggest risk to him right now would be extradition to the US or Gitmo. Unless the Russians get a piece of him somehow.

I heard his lawyer interviewed on radio this morning. This case has some very interesting angles. http://www.abc.net.au/am/content/2010/s3086480.htm

Remember this was before the arrest took place.

From this report he turned himself in. http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2...07/3087385.htm

You needn't have done that. Apparently he disclosed his own whereabouts on his website, then walked into a police station in London to make a complaint about i.

So, Assange has been arrested. Where's this poison pill decryption key then?

BTW this is good:

He did. The term is Arrest by Arrangement. Most US news sites are skipping over this fact in favour of "We got the bastard".

Dunno.

Great article. Well thought out and informed and gives a balanced view of the issues surrounding wikileaks.
