WIKILEAKS AND THE SO MANIA

HOW EASY IT IS

I apologize for putting up two Posts almost within minutes of each other but I think it’s important.

Early today I came across a story that the Founder of Wiki-Leaks – the folks who published documents exposing the failing US military effort in Afghanistan – had been accused of a sex offense (and rape, at that) and that Swedish prosecutors had issued a warrant for his arrest. By lunchtime a breaking story reported that the warrant had been withdrawn as baseless.

You can see this link for the story and this link for a shorter piece that has several useful internal links.

It stuns to see how quickly this trip-wire Sex Offense Mania regime can be deployed against anybody whom the US government finds to be ‘problematic’. If nothing else will stick, call him a Sex Offender.
