Well, what a surprise. One of Julian Assange's accusers, Anna Ardin, worked for an anti-Castro, US funded organization with links to our good friends, the CIA.
The organization she worked with had connections to the notorious terrorist Luis Posada Carriles a former CIA agent.
Apparently having consensual sex in Sweden without a condom is punishable by a term of imprisonment of a minimum of two years for rape. That is the basis for a reinstitution of rape charges against WikiLeaks Assange that is destined to make Sweden and its justice system the laughing stock of the world and dramatically damage its reputation as a model of modernity. Sweden’s Public Prosecutor’s Office was embarrassed in August this year when it leaked to the media that it was seeking to arrest Assange for rape, then on the same day withdrew the arrest warrant because in its own words there was “no evidence”. The damage to Assange’s reputation is incalculable. More than three quarters of internet references to his name refer to rape, although in fact this is not what he is accused of. The chances of a fair trial in this case are so close to zero that we can only hope that the British judge refuses to grant extradition. Many are saying that this is the Titanic moment for the internet, when we must fight for the right of the people to know what is done in their name. Joe Lieberman is already making accusations against the New York Times. At least we know that the US dirty tricks department, with its mainstream propaganda and tax dollars, is on a witch hunt. The ghost of Senator McCarthy is rattling his bones.

"The Swedes have a practical reason behind their deceptively slapstick police-work. The WikiLeaks founder, pursued by malevolent forces around the world, sought momentary relief beneath Sweden’s reputation as a bastion of free speech. But the moment Julian sought the protection of Swedish media law, the CIA immediately threatened to discontinue intelligence sharing with SEPO, the Swedish Secret Service. That got the present right-wing government out of its chair, as it does everything it can to bury the Prime Minister Olof Palme’s legacy of careful neutrality. The suspicion of whether the rape farce is an orchestrated campaign, might be illuminated by these facts: (1) Sweden sent troops to Afghanistan, (2) Assange’s WikiLeaks published the Afghan War Diary which exposed this cruel and needless neo-colonial campaign."
Seems there is more to Sweden than cheap furniture with screws missing.
