Wikileaks' Assange In UK, Police Know Where: Report
Reuters ^ | 12/01/10 | Michel Rose

LONDON (Reuters) - Wikileaks website founder Julian Assange is in Britain and police know his whereabouts but have refrained so far from acting on an international warrant for his arrest, a British newspaper said on Thursday.

Citing unnamed sources, the Independent said Soca needed clarifications about the European Arrest Warrant issued by Swedish prosecutors but it described the delay as technical.

The Metropolitan Police and Soca declined to comment when contacted by Reuters. Assange, a former computer hacker, leads a nomadic existence and cultivates an aura of mystery. He left Sweden last month after authorities there said they wanted to question him about allegations of rape and other sexual offenses.

Good. Keep leaking his location every time he moves. In fact, I’m surprised there isn’t a Fake Julian Assange account on Twitter updating with this stuff.

He has a Soros attorney so he’s going to be pretty slick.

He is a Soros patsy. They use him so he will be the fall guy for wikileaks. George Soros is the man behind the curtain.

It doesnt make much difference.

With Sweden’s liberal bail laws, even if he’s arrested he can post bail and leave the country again.

That’s been debunked.

Just because he has an attorney that also represents a Soros front organization doesn’t mean the two have anything to do with each other. Lawyers take lots of cases at the same time.

I would not be too quick to say Soros is not behind wikileaks. The next target of wikileaks are various banks, that Soros has probabaly shorted. That is his tactic. Soros is an enemy of this country, and a greedy globalists. Wikileaks is a front for corporate sabotage.

Maybe police are afraid of contracting whatever caused Julian's wiki to leak.

If you were a police officer, would you want to put him in the can?

He has safe harbor in the estate of George Soros. The Secret Service could verify that by checking communiques recieved on Obama’s blackberry from his puppetmaster.

....and it wouldn’t be the first time that Soros has pulled off such activity. He has quite a history....

It would also explain Obama’s silence on the matter of Assange and WeakiLeaks and his hands off approach to the leaked material.
