WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange handed himself in to British police on Tuesday after Sweden issued a warrant for his arrest over allegations of sex crimes, London's Metropolitan Police said.

Assange is due to appear before City of Westminster Magistrates' Court when a date for an extradition hearing is likely to be set. This must take place within 21 days of his arrest.
"He is accused by the Swedish authorities of one count of unlawful coercion, two counts of sexual molestation and one count of rape, all alleged to have been committed in August 2010,"


Assange has spent much of his time in Sweden and this year was accused of sexual misconduct by two female Swedish WikiLeaks volunteers.
This led Swedish prosecutors to open, then drop, then re-open an investigation into the allegations. The crime he is suspected of is the least severe of three categories of rape, carrying a maximum of four years in jail.
London police said Assange was arrested by officers from its extradition unit at about 9.30 a.m. (0930 GMT) after he appeared by appointment at a police station. His whereabouts had been previously undisclosed.
If a judge is satisfied his extradition is warranted and will not breach his human rights, the WikiLeaks founder's extradition will be ordered, although Assange can appeal against that decision to higher courts.

If I get all of this straight, this is basically two catty women pissed that he had unprotected relations with both of them unbenknownst to each other around the same time. Once the other found out, it was reported as a violation of a law requiring the use of condoms that carries a civil fine of $700 USD. Some publicity seeking superior prosecutor took over the case and elevated it to the charges above and something called "sex by surprise" I understand if translated literally. Charges were dropped and then re-instated. One of the complaintants is a feminist that published a detailed, step by step manifesto on the web about how to get revenge on men that was removed, but recovered from an archived source. She and the other woman claim that they never intended this to go this far. British authorities are detaining him as a flight risk even though they do not have anything to formally charge him with at the time I last read and even they are not sure of the nature of the charges or interpetation within Common Law.

I'm not going to opine on the possibility of one of the women has potential CIA connections or other motives of the court and prosecutor kotowing to the US gov't. Just trying to make sense of what we know up to this point.

Anyone on the other side of the pond can clarify any of this?

Perhaps I can arbitrate?? I read today the Swedish translation of the crime ( real or contrived) Assange was chage with was essentially fucking a female while she was sleeping, without a condom. That's true. Perhaps Lisa's punishment is too severe, so maybe we could arrange for Mr. Assange's celly to hit him in the backside bareback? Seems fair to me !! Although something tells me Mr. Assange might not view that as punishment ! .

WASHINGTON (Reuters) The two Swedish women who accuse WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange of sexual misconduct were at first not seeking to bring charges against him. They just wanted to track him down and persuade him to be tested for sexually transmitted diseases, according to several people in contact with his entourage at the time.
The women went to the police together after they failed to persuade Assange to go to a doctor after separate sexual encounters with him in August, according to these people, who include former close associates of Assange who have since fallen out with him.
The women had trouble finding Assange because he had turned off his cellphone out of concern his enemies might trace him, these sources said.

You don't have to like that guy to find it a little too phoney he is getting all this heat at the moment. An interpol mandate while he has not been found guilty of anything yet? That's just idiotic.


I don't see him as a hero, but I agree revealing the truth can set us free. The truth belongs to people, who would then form an opinion thus creating the basis of democratic vote, simple as this. Might be a notion long forgotten, though.

Aren't you mixing up things a bit here? I think we have the right to know these things, especially nowadays! There has been torture from the us, war in Iraq (built on a pack of lies), war in Afghanistan, recession, climate collapse...yes, this time I think we have every right to know. Publishing yours or my details would not happen, but even if it did, at least he would publish that of the whole site :D . We are not talking about personal privacy here, but a deceitful and dangerous state of affairs worldwide, initiated by elected governments.


As for his accent, I can't care less. He is Australian. Like I said, I do not hate him or worship the guy. For all I know he could be called Paul or Peter, his face does not matter to me. Only his actions, and I hope it continues.

So now he deserves to be killed just because you judge him as a prick with an accent?
These were public officials using government computers. It's completely different.
Maybe you need to read what the Canadian Privacy Act is, as you have a completely different understanding of it, to what it seems:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privacy_Act_%28Canada%29

It's doesn't seem to have anything to do with the publishing of personal information, which I'd assume if it was truthful, the media could do (otherwise, how would we have any news).

For someone who excels at being different you have a very limited tolerance for anybody who is different from you - or their points of view.

Julian Assange could be a rapist. Sure. There's a possibility. I have no idea. But, at present, he hasn't been charged with anything. So, if he's charged with rape, well, then there will be a trial. And if he is found guilty then he should be thrown in a cage....
And to quote Glenn Greenwald once again: "WikiLeaks has never been charged with a crime, let alone indicted for one or convicted of one."
And Greenwald further writes: "A consensus of legal experts agree (http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1210/45843.html) that prosecuting the organization or Julian Assange for any of its leaks would be difficult in the extreme."
And, too, why don't we prosecute the Guardian or the N.Y. Times for publishing the material??????

Will WikiLeaks escape Justice?

When Interpol Cares about Sexual Assault

by Laura Flanders
Julian Assange turned himself in Tuesday -- he's been arrested and is being held without bail in London ahead of a hearing on extradition to Sweden. The head of the "stateless" news-leak organization WikiLeaks is accused of sexual assault --and let's be clear, he should face the charges. But since when is Interpol [the investigative arm of the International Criminal Court at The Hague] so vigilant about violence against women? If women's security is suddenly Interpol's priority -- that's big news!
Tell it to hundreds of women in US jails and immigration detention centers -- who charge that they can't get justice against accused rapists -- or women in the US military (two of out three of whom allege they've experienced assault.) In Haiti hundreds of unprosecuted cases of rape in refugee camps could use some of Interpol's attention.
To come back to earth... It seems we only care about women's bodies when there's a political point to be proved. Feminist lawyers had to fight for years for the Criminal Court to take rape in Bosnia and Congo seriously. Feminist journalists wrote for years about the treatment of women under the Taliban, but it wasn't until they needed to sell a war that US politicians cared--and invaded.
Years later, Assange's organization ever-so-inconveniently leaked thousands of Afghan war logs and diplomatic cables about that war, and women's bodies are again the pretext for action.
So yes, if Assange is accused of assault, he should face charges. So should football players (professional and college), politicians, film directors, and everyday Joes.
But until some of those others start getting scooped up by Interpol and extradited, let's not pretend that this is the dawning of a brave new era in sexual assault prosecution, shall we?

Julian Assange's family may say the same about him.
You are hateful, you are calling for the death of someone whom you no little about, you've heard a few soundbytes of. Your attacks on anyone whose disagreed with you on this, show your venom towards it.

Whether I'm a good judge of character or not is irrelevant. He has yet to break the law (apart from the rape charges which even you must admit seem dodgy to say the least) and as I've stated before - just because you disagree with what Wikileaks has done, it doesn't mean it's illegal. You also seem to think that with Assange dead, there woudn't be any more leaks.

The only people I know who believe in an eye for an eye are crazy religious fanatics and I wouldn't have put you in that bunch. Most people other than those, try to see the facts before making such unwarranted statements that somebody should be assasinated for freedom of speach.

BUT ... you are a fanatic! You're no different from fanatical Muslims calling for the death of someone for speaking out about Mohammed or fanatical Christians calling for abortion doctors to be murdered. How can't you see the difference?

He HAS NOT leaks anything. Wikileaks has published documents that was given to them the same as many newspapers have. This has been told to you time and time again, yet you are refusing to listen. He is no different from any journalist and deserves the same protection.

Real journalism is straight from the source, and this is what he does -lest we forget. Even more: docs are left to the interpretation of those who read them, point blank.


So now we hear these are diplomatic secrets? Talk about a white wash. I am glad he revealed it all. As for the rapes, if he did, I hope he rots in hell. But I admire his actions, I don't care about the man, he is flesh and bones and will be treated such as.

There's no actual "rape" charge. Apparently, in Sweden, it's sexual misconduct with the first chick because the rubber broke & he went off with the other chick without permission. & it's sexual abuse with the second chick because he didn't put on another rubber when they woke up in the morning & fucked again. When the two got together & compared notes, they decided he needed some come-uppins. The female prosecutor agreed, but she had to reconfigure the charges after they got tossed out the first time. This is why you should never ever ever ever ever ever ever fuck a man hater, regardless of how good she looks or how much she claims to want it. (Ever see "my super ex-girlfriend" or "fatal attraction"?) I don't know. Maybe his dick's just too short. He is Australian after all. He's going to have to pick his groupies better.

From what I hear, the Brits are already telling the Swedes that they'd better have something more before extradition is even considered.

I have to change my opinion on this slightly.

While I agree that these documents should be released for both legal and moral reasons, it's the lack of training in and understanding of journalistic principals and standards that dictates that what Assange did should be legal under the First Amendment, but morally questionable at best. The difference between how these documents would likely be handled by a mainstream news source versus Wikileaks is abundantly clear to me. The Wall Street Journal, for example, would have released the information without all of the grandstanding and self-adulation and with more integrity. But on the other hand still, the mainstream media is under tighter control than were the secrets themselves.

Such a mess.

What's a snake? Seriously, where do you come up with this stuff?

Come on seanchai....you're way smarter that to throw that one out there...really ! Look...I understand the argument ( albeit disagree with it intensely) with respect to how some view what Assange did as a public service. We can debate that...but let's not suggest he's this Alfred E. Newman character what this dumb "What Me ?" look on his innocent face. He knew exactly what he was doing. I don't think the relationship between Assange and Manning has been fully explained, but in the US the guy that drives the getaway car in the course of a murder can be charged with murder. In this case...Assange drove the getaway car or perhaps a better way to put it is he facilitated the distribution and theft of what the government see's as their property. The Chicago Trib had a great piece on this today better explaining the unintended consequences. It's required reading for all Assange supportes . It is probably the best piece written out of the hundreds I've read.

**************************************************
WikiLeaks (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/arts-culture/mass-media/news-media/wikileaks-ORNPR0000050.topic) leader Julian Assange (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/arts-culture/mass-media/julian-assange-PECLB0000011155.topic) is under pressure from the U.S. and other governments he embarrassed with his leaks of American diplomatic cables, but at least his "hactivist" disciples are behind him.

With Assange in custody in Great Britain, facing possible sex-crime charges in Sweden, his hactivists have launched cyber counterattacks against his perceived enemies, including MasterCard and Amazon, and now even mama grizzly Sarah Palin (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/politics/government/sarah-palin-PEPLT0007504.topic) is claiming she's been hactivized.

It's the most bizarre story of the year, with enough chatter about Assange to fill a cheap novel, which surely is being written.

Naturally, the spy movie will follow, staring some guy with an accent, someone cool like Ralph Fiennes (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/entertainment/movies/ralph-fiennes-PECLB001680.topic) or perhaps Daniel Craig (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/entertainment/movies/daniel-craig-PECLB001169.topic), who'll no doubt display his pecs on a beach in Mallorca as part of the heroic Assange biopic.
To some, Assange is a champion of the anti-American left. Meanwhile, many conservatives want to see him convicted of espionage and sent to prison or worse.

Though I'm a First Amendment absolutist, I wouldn't have published those stolen U.S. State Department (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/politics/government/u.s.-department-of-state-ORGOV000000150.topic) cables. Still, he and others have the right to publish the news.

But Assange — or the newspapers that published the documents — don't have the right to pretend there are no real consequences.

"WikiLeaks has a four-year publishing history. During that time we have changed whole governments, but not a single person, as far as anyone's aware, has been harmed," Assange wrote in a hubris-filled op-ed piece Wednesday published in The Australian. "But the U.S. with Australian government connivance has killed thousands in the past few months alone."

It sounds very much like a big speech from a Hollywood movie. The big speech, usually delivered by some craggy-faced actor, involving the need for sunshine to illuminate government secrets otherwise hidden from a free people.

But once the big speech is over, and you're driving home with popcorn on your breath, you might be tempted to think logically about what happens next.

Sure, WikiLeaks and the newspapers have redacted some details, but the clues are there. It's safe to assume that all those documents on the Web site have been downloaded by the intelligence services of every country on Earth. Not just enemy or rogue states, but friendly nations as well.

That means Russia, China, France, Iran, Germany, Spain, South Africa, Israel and more — allies and antagonists — are studying the documents from WikiLeaks.

Their analysts aren't wringing their hands over whether they should be studying the secret cables. They're just studying. They have computers. And their analysts do what analysts do best — connect the dots.

And not only the salacious and entertaining big dots, like that Saudi prince and the prostitutes at his big bash, or the attributes of the curvy Ukrainian nurse for Moammar Gadhafi (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/politics/government/muammar-gaddafi-PEPLT000007572.topic), or what Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton wanted her diplomats to do with DNA. There are also the smaller, seemingly insignificant dots.

Analysts aren't interested in the well-known names, the public names, the official names. They're interested in the names hidden between the lines. And they'll find them.

These smaller dots aren't famous. They're foreign nationals. They could be clerks and janitors and such. They have names and friends and families. And soon, one dot is tied to another dot is tied to another dot.

Once they're connected, a door is kicked in by the security forces. The dot is put into the back seat of the car, then driven to a place where sunshine does not illuminate anything. And nobody notifies Assange about what became of the dot or its family.

By then, they're not dots anymore. They're not abstractions. They're real people. Or they were. And that's something that Assange — who reasons like a child — pretends not to understand.

After the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, our Democratic and Republican politicians argued that the U.S. had plenty of satellite surveillance and other technology, but what was required was more human intelligence, people listening to gossip, taking names and remembering faces.

America spent years building up such networks. The WikiLeak extravaganza is an invitation to other nations to grab a broom and sweep them up.

This debate isn't new. Since I'm writing for the Chicago Tribune, I should tell you what happened on June 7, 1942, during one of the most important battles in all of World War II (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/unrest-conflicts-war/wars-interventions/world-war-ii-%281939-1945%29-EVHST00000110.topic), the Battle of Midway (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/us/illinois/cook-county/chicago/midway-PLGEO100100501255900.topic) in the Pacific.

The Tribune under Col. Robert McCormick published a front-page story under this headline: "Navy Had Word of Jap Plan to Strike at Sea." It reported that the Navy had advance knowledge of the size and movement of the Japanese fleet.

The implication was clear: The Navy had cracked the Japanese code.

President Franklin Roosevelt (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/politics/franklin-delano-roosevelt-PEPLT005656.topic), who loathed McCormick, wanted to try him for treason. Some historians have written that Japanese intelligence did not fully comprehend the impact of the Tribune story. The Navy clearly did not want a trial, for fear of drawing more attention to the issue.

So after five days of secret hearings, a federal grand jury in Chicago refused to indict.

Did McCormick have the right to publish? Of course he did. The First Amendment is quite clear.

But as a retired Army officer, he surely knew that such published information could put lives in jeopardy. He had a choice. And as a grownup, he must have understood the consequences.

And that's something Assange and his hactivists — prattling childishly about sunshine and how nobody's been hurt "as far as anyone is aware" — pretend not to understand.

No. Their existence was just revealed by a Whitehouse aide during the Senate hearing & they were subpoenaed by Archibald Cox.

I believe you're thinking of the Pentagon Papers. Ellsberg & Russo used their clearances as analysts to copy shitlosds of incriminating documents from the Pentagon (during the height of VietNam I might add) & turned them over to the New York Times, who started publishing them as a series. An injunction (first prior restraint injunction against the press in US history) was issued, but was lifted when all the rest of the papers in the country got them & started putting them out. The espiionage charges were eventually dropped against Ellsburg & Russo.

I don't believe any publisher has ever been charged with espionage. That's all wikileaks is. They didn't leak the documents from the original source as far as anyone knows.

OMG, really?! Those people went to jail because they broke criminal law. In this case, while the information is classified, it belongs to the government, and I'm sorry to remind everybody of this, but the government belongs to us. Regardless of those facts, nobody in the media was prosecuted over Watergate, and so the idea of prosecuting Assange for 'stealing' what is ours is so completely ridiculous to me, Bernstein's credentials versus Assange's renegade status aside.

... but Manning should die in prison for violating about a gazzillion civil and military laws, the most important being those pertaining not to espionage since there was no direct aid to an enemy, but to treason.

No. Their existence was just revealed by a Whitehouse aide during the Senate hearing & they were subpoenaed by Archibald Cox.

I believe you're thinking of the Pentagon Papers. Ellsberg & Russo used their clearances as analysts to copy shitlosds of incriminating documents from the Pentagon (during the height of VietNam I might add) & turned them over to the New York Times, who started publishing them as a series. An injunction (first prior restraint injunction against the press in US history) was issued, but was lifted when all the rest of the papers in the country got them & started putting them out. The espiionage charges were eventually dropped against Ellsburg & Russo.

I don't believe any publisher has ever been charged with espionage. That's all wikileaks is. They didn't leak the documents from the original source as far as anyone knows.

For some reason I had it in my head that Deep Throat had actually stolen the tapes. Thank you for that clarification and for reiterating my point.

im pretty sure im not a fanatic exept my leafs of course im not religeous and i do believe in freedom of speech nut last i checked he aint speaking and never did so this has nothing to do with freedom of speach period,he leaked private government documents not knowing what was in them nor caring whats in them and hes not done yet,we both know what he did was extemely wrong period who pointed him judge and jury of what we need to know and see?i doubt i can change anyones mind in here nor do i care but as long as people see him as a hero ill keep posting in realitty hes no robin hood hes a snake plain and simple.if ya wanna talk fanatics that would be his followers you know the hackers who took down visa and mastercard

This isn't true: "(Julian Assange) leaked private government documents not knowing....) It was Bradley Manning who leaked the information.
Bradley Manning is the leaker, as it were. But he, as yet, hasn't been convicted. (But, again, why aren't we charging The N.Y. Times and The Guardian and Der Spiegel for PUBLISHING the leaked cables?)
"Manning was arrested by agents of the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command in May 2010 and held in pre-trial confinement..."
And:
"On July 5, 2010, two misconduct charges were brought against him for 'transferring classified data onto his personal computer and adding unauthorized software to a classified computer system' and 'communicating, transmitting and delivering national defense information to an unauthorized source....'"
And:
"The charges included unauthorized access to Secret Internet Protocol routers network computers, download of more than 150,000 United States Department of State diplomatic cables, download of a classified Microsoft powerpoint presentation, and downloading a classified video of a military operation in Baghdad on July 12, 2007. Manning is also charged for forwarding the video and at least one of the cables to an unauthorized person."

The guy has been demonized. When it is Clinton with Lewinsky, no one cares about the source, or the Iran gate, the Watergate as it is mainstream - yes Partisan papers. So why hate the guy? He is truthful and unbiased, and if he has raped women, then I hope he pays big time. But his media actions? No one had it on the source about Abu Grahib when torture was mentioned. Come on. A bit of sense maybe?

He was charged with having sex with two women consensually in violation of mandatory condom laws.

Well he wasn't arrested. He was Red Noticed by Interpol and turned himself in willingly. My bet is that it's because he knows he's innocent and wants to clear up the charges and get in and out of the system before the U.S. government has the time to attempt to file charges of their own as well as an extradition request.

Latest word is that one of the chicks that fingered him (Anna Ardin) has flown the coupe and disappeared into the Palestinian territories to avoid involvement with this. She's tweeting to support Wikileaks now. His UK atty. can't get any cooperation from the Swedish gov't as to what he is actually charged with and is claiming that Sweden is in extradition talks with the US even though he can't be charged with any known treason or espionage charges not being a citizen. Guess once he arrives here, he can be declared an enemy combatant and luxury accomodations await him in Guantanamo

Espionage & treason are two different things. Espionage is attributable to non-citizens while they are actually in this country or its territories, which i believe mr. assange is / has not been in since he started wikileaks. Therefore he wouldn't be chargeable, despite what the jackasses on tv are blathering.

Obviously I'm speculating at this point, but couldn't they just slap him with an accessory charge of some sort for his involvement with Pfc Manning? Although they'd have a tough time establishing the circumstances surrounding the relationship between the two. The next few weeks should prove most interesting. Strap in everyone. It could be a bumpy ride. :geek:

It was Bradley Manning who leaked the cables and committed a crime. Wikileaks and Julian Assange haven't been charged with anything. (If Julian Assange committed rape, well, he should be thrown in a cage for a very long time.) Now if Assange gets charged for publishing the cables, well, we WOULD need to charge the N.Y. Times and The Guardian and Der Spiegel and a slew of other newspapers and authoress Naomi Wolf, too. As she has published the cables.

The Espionage act is attributable to US citizens since WW1 that I recall. Ellsberg and Russo were charged with it and got off on a technicality. Precedent for a non-citizen charged with espionage for handling US documents while abroad and not in this country was established during the Reagan years by a E. German that had reviewed documents I think in Mexico. He was arrested while visiting in the US and convicted. If Holder has anything up his sleeve, this must be it. The only problem is to get Assange on US soil first which it looks like Sweden might be willing to give him up. Then there is another problem. He's been transversing Europe while all this is going on and not hands on the leak. It can be argued that he's just the publisher. There seems to be a concerted effort both by lawmakers and the conservative media to keep hammering that he's not a journalist to set the stage for this. Either way, once he's on the shores here, he's mud. He can be declared and enemy combatant or charged under the espionage and sedition act and tried in a Federal court of law. Then there are extrajudicial options if they can't get him here.

Wikileaks released a cable containing sites that are vital to security of the United States. Some of the sites were commonly known and others sites weren't known by a lot of people. Even the AP didn't publish the cable because they knew how sensitive it was.

Yes, Wikileaks released a cable showing how to cause serious damage to the United States.

That is because Scooter Libby was not the one who actually first leaked the information. It was Richard Armitage, formerly the Deputy Secretary of State.

Scooter Libby got nailed for actions during the investigation. He was convicted of obstructing justice, perjury and making false statements.
