hummmm.... must be a traitor ...

Quote:

Today Larry Flynt, the founder of American sex magazine Hustler, announced that he would give $50,000 (£32,000) to the Assange defence fund, calling him a "hero" who deserved a "ticker-tape parade". Flynt's support was not for WikiLeaks itself, but because he thought the rape charges a nonsense.

Assange has been called "the new Jason Bourne" by Jemima Khan, the "Ned Kelly of the Cyber Age" by members of the press in his native Australia and a libertine 007 by those who note his fondness for martinis.

On the other side, Republican US senators have lined up behind the Democrat secretary of state Hillary Clinton to condemn him. Sarah Palin claims that he is "an anti-American operative with blood on his hands" that America should pursue "with the same urgency we pursue al-Qaida and Taliban leaders." George Packer of the New Yorker magazine, called Assange "megalomaniacal" and Vanity Fair's Christopher Hitchens called him "a middle man and peddler who resents the civilisation that nurtured him". There have been disturbing calls from both Republicans and Democrats for him to be assassinated.

BTW, for those that actually took the time to read ( or least glance ) the cables, very few have to do with US actions...

In fact , they are :
- Cables written by US staff in US embassies ( or Cia Offioces )
- Mostly giving opinions on this, evaluaion on that ...
- relating facts , suspicions or opinions on this country, this ;eader of thgis country, and so on ...

Recent releases :

- WikiLeaks cables: UN offered Robert Mugabe a lucrative retirement overseas
- US embassy cables: Zanu-PF like 'a troop of baboons incessantly fighting'
- .. and so on on Haiti, Kurzistan, Fuckistan, etc ....

Larry Flynt is one of the foremost defenders of the First Amendment and you post here ONLY because of his efforts and sacrifice.

Isn't Assange suppose to post more?

While I also believe the rape charges are probably completely fake. I don't see donating to a guy's defense for a rape trial "good press". But whatever, Flint can do what he wants with his money.

Although I am a strong supporter of Wikileaks and have in the past few weeks supported Assanga over what I thought might be a setup, Im now having a change of feelings on Assange, though still a supporter of Wikileaks. The Guardian has got hold of some of the police files on the case and it makes for an interesting read. One of the things that struck me is that the main basis of why the women went to the police after they discovered he was sleeping around was his refusal to take an STD/HIV test. Now although there is no law against this, I honestly cannot understand why any man who has been sleeping around would refuse to take such a test. That shows me something negative about the guy and it should be noted the police are in possession of SMS and phone records to verify this as well as third party corroboration.
It is also interesting to note that Assange said, The Swedish tabloid Aftonbladet asked if he had had sex with his two accusers. He said: "Their identities have been made anonymous so even I have no idea who they are. This implies he must have been having sex with a lot more women, another reason why he should have been tested.

Police spoke to Miss W's ex-boyfriend, who told them that in two and a half years they had never had sex without a condom because it was "unthinkable" for her. Miss W told police she went to a chemist to buy a morning-after pill and also went to hospital to be tested for STDs. Police statements record her contacting Assange to ask him to get a test and his refusing on the grounds that he did not have the time.....http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010...assange-sweden
