Yes, and this is an understatement. The integrity of the entire system is gone, and to that extent it’s pointless to clean up the leaks. Because it means cleaning select aspects of an overall filthy, corrupt intelligence system.

30+ years ago Daniel Moynihan advocated abolishing the CIA and I thought he was insane.

He was right. The concept is fatally flawed. It has been and always will be politically corrupt. We ask people to risk their lives to get info that is filtered through political hacks. It can't be fixed. Of course, they just keep adding more and more layers.

We can get legit intelligence from private sources, the military, and diplomats.

If the stories about Seth Rich and Wikileaks are true (they seem *very* credible to me) Assange has a duty to make it clear that he *was* their source.

Although he's probably heard of Arkancide so he might be reluctant.

Assange is guilty of more things like having a sexual intercourse when the woman was asleep while not wearing a condom - both carry charges under Swedish law.

But he is also a manipulative asshole. I remember the helicopter video, that he cut in a way that left out men carrying AK-s and RPG-s and focused only on some foolish reporter, who was among these guys without a press west, aiming his big objective pipe toward the passing column getting shot.

Your comment.

I am remiss in not researching further on the actual events with the women. A messy business with various incidents which while very nasty, the women did not immediately take action.

We had a case in Canada when a CBC host stood trial for assault against women. He said only "rough sex". A woman lawyer got the women contradicting their own testimony. He got off. Many felt a miscarriage of justice. The man is sort of a pariah now. No more nice guy on Q. (radio show).

Yes, Assange is much more the "an odd duck" as some call him. He has one heck of a problem.

Wrong. Not convicted. This was alleged not proven. In this country at least you are innocent til proven guilty and this should be the case everywhere.

“This is certainly at least, delayed justice for Assange. As I understand it and do stand to be corrected, here are two facts.”

It is not “delayed Justice” when an accused flees the justice system.

The corrupt American intelligence community that has weaponized intelligence on private individuals for political purposes, is the greatest scandal in American history. Those who have participated in it should be prosecuted and put in prison. I believe the Obama Regime began this illegal use of our intelligence system.

One added part of the Sweden story is that several news items have strongly suggested (interviews with other women) that Assange was playing the ‘James Bond’ character a great deal, and there were probably over two dozen other women who were also greeted by his evening activities. It’s just that these two women met up with each other, compared notes, and noted his condom practice.

I don’t condemn the guy, but on the safe-sex scale...he’s a zero at best.

A comment was made, not by me about "guilty". It was made in a general sense, by another poster. Not in a legal sense. I am glad that you adhere to the fact that in the United States you are innocent until proven guilty.

I would however like to point out that the MSM, much of the Democrat Party and some Republicans do not adhere to that tenet.

A fair comment and I agree the whole business of what Assange did, or did not do, does muddy the waters. I smile and note what a desire for sex with women brings men too. I do not exclude my youthful self howver.

Your comments #26 and #27.

Whoops! My error in thinking you directed the comment at me only. I see that it was in a general sense at both posters. Sorry 'bout that.
