to chinagirl
Nobody actually beleives he had done any wrong in sweden, this is a trumped up claim by the powers above!
I agree withe ecuadors decison although i find the president a hypercrite as he does not allow local media in ecuador to critise him in anyway!
However he did do this job well and researched it thouroughlyDiscussion 19 : 18 Aug 2012 at 20.3719
@chinagirl: Sure you have a point that also a prominent person should not get away with rape. But did you check the details of what he is accused to have done. I did i.e. in the article I linked in my first post. I guess if i.e. a woman in Thailand would go to the police with that kind of accusation they would tell her friendly that she has no case – and they would laugh about it and slap their knees the moment she walked out of the door. And Great Britain is threatening to invade the embassy or Ecuador to get a guy who should be questioned, he is not even accused. I think this is so over the top compared to other possible criminals that the whole thing smells very fishy. I.e. Ecuador offered Swedish investigators or question Assange in their embassy and Sweden declined this.

Obviously, Ecuador had no classified diplomatic communications revealed by Wikileaks.

#11 haha sure you are. You are probably another multi-identity troll.
As I suspected, more focus on the American issue than about him facing allegations of the sexual assault. Guys, if it was a female member of your family involved would you be happy to let Mr Assange play the system and avoid investigation? Lets get back to the BP question.Discussion 16 : 18 Aug 2012 at 18.4316
Those USA haters on here should be thankful they don't live in a world without them. Their lives would be very different indeed. Its easy to let your 'free' mouth flap when someone else paid the price to allow it.
I view the USA a bit like the Democrats : A long way from perfect - but the alternative is simply unacceptable.Discussion 15 : 18 Aug 2012 at 18.2715
@ ravbrat #8: I think you ought to give some kind of warning. I laugh so hard my beer sprouted out of my noose over my keyboard!
@ china girl #10 : I'm from Sweden and I know he won't!Discussion 14 : 18 Aug 2012 at 18.0514
Thailand should be worried, more truths might come out, although i can go to wikipedia NOT leaks to find out who originally ordered the war on drugs, killing of red shirts etc.. only people in Thailand have problems reading such truths.
Most of the uk here are supporting julian assange just look on facebook but then we want freedom of speech where as thais are scared of it!Discussion 13 : 18 Aug 2012 at 17.0513
It dosen't matter anymore this guy is a prisoner wherever he goes from now on. He will be on the run or in jail the rest of his life.

i am a friend of the american people, i traveled the us, i worked in the us, i have many american friends (some are more critical about their own country than me). you can't deny that the US do not only bring good to the world,'though many american citizen try, (if they can find the rest of the world on the map). here's just a list of all wars the US wre involved since the revolutionary wars. impressive, indeed.
