Julian Assange: the balcony defence (Guardian editorial)

[cprise]

39. And so concerned are they for the two women

...that they refused to interview Assange in the UK, despite having interviewed a murder suspect and a tax evasion suspect on foreign soil in the past. So this is about how the Swedish police prefer to play a game, and they are doing it with Karl Rove as an adviser.

In any case, if this suspected rape is so tragic, then why is the penalty a relatively modest fine?

And that is ignoring all of the accusers' behavior after the rapes are said to have taken place. Or during... one of the women tried to hide evidence she was actually awake when she was supposed to have been raped in her sleep, by erasing tweets from her twitter account.

For that matter, do middle-aged men ever turn into serial rapists for very short periods without a trail of other victims or warning signs?
