My blinders are off. I'm still curious to hear the times you think it's OK to keep stuff secret.
You think people whose lives revolve around DWTS and other reality TV care about how we go about gathering intelligence on other countries?

for a public figure he has done very little to disprove the rape charges ,
its one thing to arrogant but its another thing to prove "them" wrong,
in a nut shell ,
he is using information to show others what the goverments and corporations have done is illegal and not law abiding
why isnt he then a law abiding role model in his own case , ...
just saying ,
Have you actually looked at his twitter page and seen the published letters from his attorneys??? Or are you just speculating without having done him the courtesy of reading what he has made public?
If you are going to slur somene's name by saying he is not abiding by the law, at leaslt take the trouble to do your research first.
In this case, based on his attorney's public statements, it is the Swedish authorities who are playing games with the law and not Assange.
edit on 26-11-2010 by wcitizen because: (no reason given)
how is twittering or having attorney (s) send letters clearing ones name when its for questioning they want him ?
they want him to answer for the aledged suspicion of rape and he has yet to answer for his own deed´s.
mocking the system is not doing him any favour..
to me it seams that people are just blinded by this man´s background and forget that he is not above the law any more or less then you or me ,
if it was me in his shoes i wouldent run from it and point fingers at everyone else and have people talk for me
i´d confront it and have it over with since im innocent.

True, i just want to make the distinctions that just because a certain group is bad, doesn't mean all of them are bad. It's the over-generalization "all of them are bad" that leads to trouble.

Yeah, i know he probably was being sarcastic. I just don't want all the Jews to get a bad rap for the choices of a few.
Idk, guess seeing and learning about the Holocaust has made me kind of jumpy about this sort of thing. Oh well, I'm off to see Harry Potter.

Frankly, I doubt if you have any notion of what it must be like to be in his shoes...and I doubt very much that you would cope with the threats on your life even remotely as well as he is. That is my guess, based on what you have written so far.

If you are really following the 'rape' case, you'd know that the 'rapes' were alleged by 2 women that had CONSENTUAL sex with him, and then got mad and filed charges that he didn't use a condom the next time they had sex with him. The prosecutor DROPPED the charges, and then someone higher than her reopened the case and just hasn't closed it yet.
They wanted to make sure Interpol had a legal reason to look for him and detain him.
He's not being unlawful, he's being careful.

how does being suspected of sexual assault , rape and possibly molestation clear you from questioning by the authorities ?
work ?
travel ?
above the law ?

I wonder...
Could it be possible that the charges brought against assange will be revealed in diplomatic communications between interested governments?
That would certainly be an eye-opener.
Waiting patiently but guessing I won't be waiting long.
