STOCKHOLM – Swedish prosecutors say they will seek an international arrest warrant for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in a rape investigation.

The announcement came after a Stockholm court approved their request to detain Assange for questioning in the case, which stems from his encounters with two Swedish women in August

personally, I'm surprised he takes any interest in women at all - looks more like he prefers children

Didn’t they issue a warrant a couple of months ago then dropped the charges? What is really going on here?

...and boys at that.

What is really going on here?

Struggle over 'control' of the information. The volume of what he has, way exceeds what has been released. Some of what has been released, has actually vindicated President Bush.

So... consider what hasn't been released, and who that might IMPLICATE, and what they would do to suppress it.

Assange is an enemy combatant. He has declared himself as such by openly engaging in espionage on behalf of the enemy. He needs to take a dirt nap. And sooner, rather than later.

Agreed.

I’m sorry for the victims in question, but I’m not too sorry for Sweden.

Invite a scum into your country and protect him from justice, because it’s the politically correct thing to do. Then rape or murder is the sort of payback you are likely to get.

How many innocent people died in Afghanistan because Sweden helped Asange make their names known to the terrorists? The Swedish government shares the blame.
