Agree totally on the total lack of understanding by the US on this matter. They should have simply let the Swedes deal with it, and saved us all from more conspiracy theories.

Very true, and I suspect you are correct. I’ve thought that myself… “Cut your losses..” etc. Then again, there is the old adage “No publicity is bad publicity!” Since the USA went after WikiLeaks & Assange, the number of people aware of both has, at least, tripled! 😉 The USA has NEVER been very good at: “Sometimes, the best thing you can do about a nuisance is… STFU!” 😉 😀

In reply to Kryten42. Some people just can't separate the person from the organization. In Michael Moore's case, he is his operation. He is the major creative force behind his films. WikiLeaks is not the same type of operation, and if Assange hadn't centralized so much of the power in his own hands, the organization would probably cut him loose to save the project.

I see that Michael Moore is beating the drums for Assange (and even *putting his money where his mouth is*) WITNESS STATEMENT OF MICHAEL MOORE More info about why: Why I'm Posting Bail Money for Julian Assange He doesn't think much of Sweden, or Swedish *justice*. ;) :D Dear Government of Sweden... (and is anyone actually surprised that Moore would back Assange?) ;)

In reply to Steve Bates.

Oh, he managed to “prove” it in court, even if it required what amounted to a criminal conspiracy to do it.

We had a smaller version of the same problem in the county where I worked, and the individual involved, and anyone who does it totally forgets that when you railroad innocent people, you let the guilty go free. Bad cops, prosecutors, and judges are worse that child rapists, because they let the rape continue.

“In any case, you charge what the evidence says you can prove in court.”

You obviously didn’t live in Harris County, TX during the reign of Johnny Holmes.
