I'm sorry, but where is that in wikileaks. And assassination is illegal by Executive Order in the US.
As has been discussed widely and openly by members of your Government in the past few weeks.
Why not? I thought Lefties like you held Sweden up as the paragon of all that is fair and just and wonderful. Suddenly, it's a terrible place because it is prosecuting your poster boy?
A rape trial is rarely ever open to the public. The details of the case should never ever be released to the media before it even goes to trial.
Most importantly, you do not release such information before you even charge the individual with anything. The warrant issued against him were for questioning only. Sweden has yet to charge him with rape.
Assange is fighting attempts to extradite him to Sweden for questioning over allegations of sexual misconduct including rape made by two female WikiLeaks volunteers, which he denies.
"It's an ongoing investigation in Sweden and the prosecutor needs to interrogate him to make a decision on the matter," said Karin Rosander, a spokeswoman for the Swedish prosecution agency.

It would seem that Sweden is different and does not consider a person innocent until proven guilty.
Here is what we have.. A man facing an accusation of rape.. a Prosecution pissed off that he was released on bail because, as the Justice who heard the appeal for his bail -
"The history of the way it [the case] has been dealt with by the Swedish prosecutors would give Mr Assange some basis that he might be acquitted following a trial." .. Now, what do you call this? This release shows a desperate prosecution acting improperly before he is even charged. Their actions have shown that he would never get a fair trial in Sweden and they are damaging their own attempts to extradite him
for questioning about the allegation of rape.
And where have I ever said that I considered Sweden's legal system to be "the paragon of all that is fair and just and wonderful"? Where have I claimed he was my posterboy? Can you provide a link to each please? Thank you.
So you want to remove a domestic criminal matter from that nation's court because an entire country is unfit to serve as jurors...
Is that what I said? No. I said that Sweden's actions have ensured that he would not get a fair trial and if they were democratic, the Swedish courts would kick it.. Like they kicked it the first time they tried to charge him for this very same alleged crime, only that time it was due to the complete lack of evidence.
Time will tell however. But thus far, this selective leak speaks of anger and petulence.
