Assange Secret Swedish Police Report Leaked 840
letsurock writes "The 68-page confidential report prepared by Swedish police got leaked which tells the police version on the alleged sexual misconduct by the Julian assange. The Swedish report traces events over a four-day period in August this year when 39-year-old Assange had what he has described as consensual sexual relationships with two Swedish women."
One of the women has links to anti-Castro groups (Score:2, Interesting)
On of the accusers had been kicked out of Cuba for "anti-Castro" activity and has ties to US funded political groups. It's looking a lot like CIA. Counter Punch reported on it, check it out.

He's wanted for questioning.
Meanwhile, we have a recent case of two Irish guys beating a Swedish guy half to death on a cruise. They were caught by the guards and on camera, and their identities and whereabouts in Ireland are known, but the Swedish government are not willing to do anything because the crime was not serious enough. Compare this with a broken condom.

I believe the proper term is Sharia law, not Islamic. You can find all sorts of charming references about Sharia and rape on the Internet and I'm not going to dump them all out here.
One that is very common and enforced in at least Pakistan and Iran is the requirement that a woman have four witnesses to a rape or else she is charged with adultery.
While I haven't seen any reference to specifically "forgiving" a brother after a rape, there are certainly ample references to situations where a woman's family is expected to kill her because of a rape. Rape is assumed in most cases to be the woman's fault which leads to women being kept as virtual prisoners in their homes and being covered head to toe when they are allowed outside.
No, Sharia law isn't the rule in all Islamic countries as you don't see women being stoned to death in Egypt or Turkey. But increasingly in non-Islamic countries Sharia law is being given precedence over local laws for violations between Muslims. This is happening in the US, Australia, Germany and the UK.

On the other hand, wikileaks leaked their own donors list. As far as I know its not illegal to donate to wikileaks, even if mastercard, visa, paypal and BoA say otherwise, so maybe you do have a point.
Sir –
Incidentally, if you wish to make an anonymous donation to Wikileaks from a common law country (Australia, Canada, U.S., Great Britain, etc) you can give the money to a law firm and ask that they make the donation out of their trust account anonymously. In general, a retained law firm is barred by confidentiality to not disclose that you are even a client, and thanks to the client-solicitor privilege they cannot be forced to disclose that relationship by a Court except in a rare set of particular circumstances.
This is, of course, a general rule and not legal advice you should rely on. Ask the law firm what protections in the form of privacy, confidentiality and privilege they provide for you if you wish to make an anonymous donation to Wikileaks through them, and under what circumstances your identity and donation could be disclosed by way of Court order or otherwise.
For further protection, you could ask the law firm you retain to retain another law firm to make the donation.
Some firms may not wish to engage in this practice, and indeed may be barred from doing so by way of their respective law society or applicable legislation, but if they are it is certainly a measure of anonymity with seasoned and tested protections that's not easily accessible by any other means.

Given the behaviour of the girls after the alledged rape, ie one throwing a party for him. And the fact they are both avid feminist activitists, my guess is they are both full of it. But its one of those things that can never be proved either way. Both girls were only very pissed off when they discovered each other and only then did they cry fowl. Now they are nowhere to be herd or seen except for the two simultanious police reports they filed at the time. No evidence. Just the words of two scorned women against Julian. And hell have no fury like two scorned women. No one will ever know for sure except for the three of them.

And, so the investigators can try to find a hole in either party's story. That is how investigations work and how one can find lies and distortions, by repeated questioning and looking for inconsistency in the tellings and re-tellings.
So? All he has to do is say he didn’t do it, and give the same story again. And they have no proof, so it’s a complete waste of everyone’s time.
They already investigated, already questioned him (when he was in the country), they determined there was no case, dropped it, and told him he was free to leave the country. He did.
Any inconsistency in his tellings and re-tellings would be due to the fact that it happened 4 months ago.

It gets even more hilarious when you compare this case with the case of Joachim Posener, once described as Sweden's most wanted man, suspect of running off with a large amount of stolen money and hiding abroad for a decade. He was later questioned at a Swedish embassy in Belgium. No problems there.
