notice how swiftly they went after him once he threatened the banks. I wonder if this means that wikileaks'll be releasing that insurance policy/"thermonuclear device" now that assange is captured.

I actually had an argument with my partner about this. Like I was all gung-ho about FREEDOM OF INFORMATION and POWER TO THE PEOPLE and shit, but I guess the guy has been posting leaks about sensitive things. I think a rape charge is like the government going EASY on him (if, in fact, he isn't actually a rapist, which he may well be...).

Weirdly I've seen so many newscasts suggesting that he should be executed. It's made me a little bit freaked out, but like . Lord Haw Haw was executed during WW2, not for like TELLING SECRETS, but for broadcasting radio messages about how the UK should sign up with the nazis and how we were going to lose and shit. I really don't get why they would frame him for rape instead of just offing him, if the government/s were going to do anything at all.

Like "DON'T LISTEN TO THAT GUY HE'S A RAPIST" isn't exactly finishing him off. It would give the media ammo and the opportunity to say "Wikileaks founder and famous rapist" when beginning stories talking about him though.

PS: More stories about how Russia is run by gangsters please Wikiman !!! Less stories about PERSONAL DANGER!!!
