The neocons at Faux News and elsewhere are celebrating the arrest in London of the WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and calling for his “extradition” to the U.S where they want to invoke the 1917 Espionage Act and put him on trial for “spying.” Spies can be executed, Saddam Hussein style.
This article explains what he was arrested for. In short, he had two one-night stands with two separate women in Sweden and, unfortunately for him, the women met each other afterwards. Being p____d off at his hound dog behavior, one of them hired a “gender lawyer” who is known for “wanting to expand the definition of rape.” So under Swedish law, he has been charged with: 1) allowing his condom to break during consensual sex with one of the women, and 2) failing to use a condom while having consensual sex with the other one.
My recommendation to Assange’s lawyer is to use the Johnny Cochran/O.J. Simpson defense: “If the condom don’t fit, you must aquit.”
