I wonder how often Interpol issues a worldwide wanted notice for a rape charge? I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess it's ununsual.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('papa moose', 'T')hanks CrazyDad, that was very informative.

Let me get this straight:
1) He started out doing what they wanted (sex with condom)
2) He ended up doing something they hadn't wanted (sex without a condom)
3) She then bragged to all her friends about the first activity (sex + condom)
4) She then went to cops but _didn't_ "accuse" him of the second activity (sex - condom)
5) So the prosecutors have charged him for the second activity (sex - condom)
6) But becuase of her third activity (bragging) they don't have a hope of winning the case
7) SOOOo the hot shot prosecutor is going to make up a new law during the case to make the first activity (sex + condom) illegal, due to the fact the guy was a "celebrity"; which was the whole reason for (1.) and (3.) occurring?

Makes sense to me!

British police have been asked to join the international hunt for Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder, over rape allegations.

The 39-year-old Australian, who is thought to be in Britain, is wanted by Swedish prosecutors on suspicion of two counts of rape.

On Tuesday, Interpol issued a “red notice” to 188 countries, stating that Mr Assange was wanted in Sweden and asking anyone with information about him to contact their local or national police force.

The notice has reportedly been brought to the attention of all British forces by the Serious Organised Crime Agency, which is handling the case. Mr Assange’s precise location remains unknown but he is a frequent visitor to Britain. He conducted press conferences in London earlier this year and is reportedly in hiding near the capital.

While red notices do not amount to an arrest warrant, an Interpol spokesman said they were often interpreted as a “valid request for provisional arrest”, especially when the countries involved have an extradition treaty, as Sweden and Britain do.

A source at Scotland Yard said it has received no information about Mr Assange’s whereabouts. Mark Stephens, his British lawyer, said that he had not been contacted by either Interpol or police.

As the search intensified, the WikiLeaks website, which is releasing a selection of more than 250,000 classified US diplomatic cables, came under cyber-attack, making it inaccessible to users in the United States and Europe.

In a Twitter message, WikiLeaks said it was under a “distributed denial of service attack”, a method used by hackers to slow or bring down sites. The assault is believed to come from China.

The allegations against Mr Assange surfaced in August when two women went to police with complaints of sexual assault.

Mr Stephens said yesterday that the red notice was a “persecution and prosecution” of his client, and that the Swedish authorities had ignored repeated requests from Mr Assange for a meeting.

He said: “It is highly irregular and unusual. Mr Assange has repeatedly sought meetings with the prosecutrix – both in Sweden and subsequently – in order to answer her questions and clear his name.

“We are also investigating whether the prosecutor’s application to have Mr Assange held incommunicado without access to lawyers, visitors or other prisoners – again a unique request – is in any way linked to this matter and the recent, rather bellicose US statements of an intention to prosecute Mr Assange.”

A spokesman for Scotland Yard refused to comment about Mr Assange, but said: “If an arrest warrant has been issued of any kind to all forces around the world then those forces would act on any information they received.”

Mr Assange’s mother, Christine, who runs a puppet theatre in Queensland, Australia, said she was worried about her son. She said: “Obviously I don’t want him hunted down and jailed. I’m reacting as any mother would. I’m distressed.”

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Sixstrings', '

WikiLeaks or Assange was NOWHERE on the front page, just stuff like "mum leaves child in pool" and "Keeping cats and dogs safe in summer," etc. On the news backpage they have maybe two Wikileak articles buried further down.

The only difference between the government mob and the illegal mob is that the government mob pretends to use legal means to eliminate you; the illegal mob would not bother with the rigged "legal" procedures to make their violence look justified.

How did Hillary expect her diplomats to get DNA samples from the UN secreatry general and the other world leaders?

Did she want her diplomats to use the same method that Monica Lewinsky used to get DNA samples from Bill Clinton?

Lieberman Introduces Anti-WikiLeaks Legislation
Senator Joseph Lieberman and other lawmakers on Thursday introduced legislation that would make it a federal crime for anyone to publish the name of a U.S. intelligence source, in a direct swipe at the secret-spilling website WikiLeaks. (snip) The so-called SHIELD Act (Securing Human Intelligence and Enforcing Lawful Dissemination) would amend a section of the Espionage Act that already forbids publishing classified information on U.S. cryptographic secrets or overseas communications intelligence — i.e., wiretapping. The bill would extend that prohibition to information on HUMINT, human intelligence, making it a crime to publish information “concerning the identity of a classified source or informant of an element of the intelligence community of the United States,” or “concerning the human intelligence activities of the United States or any foreign government” if such publication is prejudicial to U.S. interests.
Leaking such information in the first place is already a crime, so the measure is aimed squarely at publishers.

(snip) Lieberman’s proposed solution to WikiLeaks could have implications for journalists reporting on some of the more unsavory practices of the intelligence community. For example, former Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega was once a paid CIA asset. Would reporting that now be a crime?

The SHIELD Act is co-sponsored by senators John Ensign (R-NV) and Scott Brown (R-MA).
