Junge, Junge, Hillary Clinton lässt Julian Assange mit internationalen Haftbefehl suchen, weil er zwei Schwedinnen an die Wäsche gegangen  sein soll …. sollte sie dann nicht auch ihren eigenen Mann einbuchten lassen? Und, wo wir gerade dabei sind, Fragen zu stellen, wenn es unsere Regierungen sicherer macht, wenn sie alles über uns wissen, auch das, was in unseren Computern und hinter verschlossenen Türen passiert, macht es nicht uns auch sicherer, wenn wir alles über unsere Regierung wissen, auch das, was in deren Computern…

Gleichviel, zu den Vorwürfen gegen Assange hat das linke Internetmagazin Counterpunch folgendes geschrieben:

Swedish bloggers uncovered the full story in a few hours. The complaint was lodged by a radical feminist Anna Ardin, 30, a one-time intern in the Swedish Foreign Service. She’s spokeswoman for Broderskapsrörelsen, the liberation theology-like Christian organization affiliated with Sweden’s Social Democratic Party. She had invited Julian Assange to a crayfish party, and they had enjoyed some quality time together. When Ardin discovered that Julian shared a similar experience with a 20-year-old woman a day or two later, she obtained the younger woman’s cooperation in declaring before the police that changing partners in so rapid a manner constituted a sort of deceit. And deceit is a sort of rape. The prosecutor immediately issued an arrest warrant, and the press was duly notified. Once the facts were examined in the cold light of day, the charge of rape seemed ludicrous and was immediately dropped. In the meantime the younger woman, perhaps realizing how she had been used, withdrew her report, leaving the vengeful Anna Ardin standing alone.

However, before we absolve the Swedish police as unwitting, if zealous, dupes, please note that Swedish law strictly forbids police and prosecutors to release to the media the details of any rape-connected complaint. The Expressen had all the details of the case, including the names of the accused and the complainant, within a matter of minutes. Please note further that the right-wing tabloid Expressen belongs to the Bonnier family, the biggest media owners in Sweden, who are not only pro-American but very much pro-Israel, too. As you know, the pro-Israeli lobby is warmly supportive of America’s Middle Eastern wars, while Assange and his WikiLeaks have the potential to undermine America’s weakening support for the war.

Were the criminal reporters of the Expressen that good, or is it possible that Ms. Ardin willingly collaborated with the Expressen in targeting our plucky Neo? She interned for the editorial page ofGT , the Gothenberg edition of Expressen.

Vielleicht bekommt es die ein oder andere deutsche Zeitung ja noch gebacken, dem nachzugehen. Schweden ist gar nicht so weit weg, man kann dorthin telefonieren, und es soll da sogar Blogger geben, die englisch können.
