Listen...I live in Scandinavia now and the WikiLeaks Story is getting NO play here
Edited on Sat Aug-21-10 07:52 AM by Ichingcarpenter
You'd would think it would since most Scandinavians think
he is spreading the TRUTH and made a stance to support him
and have given him almost political refuge.

The story came out of a RIGHT WING RAG in Sweden.

Yes, they have a right wing too.

I think DU needs a WORLD perspective
and not a CNN one.

I CALL THE STORY CRAP.
It's not getting any play here.

Thank your DE-part-MINT of Defense
and your Sin-trail Intel-I- guess Agency

for this story.

3. You really should not divide up words like that.
There are thousands of ways to do that.

For shock value, even the word Women can try to say something about the right.

W omen.

I just finished a shift starting a 6 in morning
for 7 hours


I went to Christ-iania- (very cool place)
on the way home where you can
buy some good natural herbs
that don't come in a can or glass jar.

Better prices than the states also.

It helps my arthritis.

when your opinion, which I share, is confirmed. This stinks of black hat bullshit.

5. But the story isn't just in a tabloid...
So a spokesperson (Karin Rosander) for the Swedish prosecutors office didn't tell CNN this? Julian did not respond on his twitter page?

http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/europe/08/21/sweden.wikileaks.charge/index.html?hpt=T1&iref=BN1

Stockholm, Sweden (CNN) -- The founder and editor of the whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, has been charged in Sweden with rape and molestation, a spokeswoman for the Swedish prosecutor's office told CNN Saturday.

Spokeswoman Karin Rosander said the charges were filed Friday night in relation to two separate instances, but she didn't have more detail about when the alleged crimes occurred or who the alleged victims are.

Assange denied the charges in a posting Saturday on the WikiLeaks Twitter page, saying, "The charges are without basis and their issue at this moment is deeply disturbing."...(more)

these rags live for controversy, usually contrived.

to do the dirty work and they don't always have to
come from the Air Force.

14. I think I'll wait for proof first; rumors suck, and I find it hard to
believe the military would come up with this lame rumor, though I guess it's not impossible.

18. you have that right..do research on the soldiers who Saved Jessica Lynch..see how many are dead!
Edited on Sat Aug-21-10 09:18 AM by flyarm
and how they died.

Noooo our MIC would never do anything nefarious! Neither would our CIA..or Defence Dept..........yeah right!

Go ahead people..look up what happened to the soliders who were involved in the fake Jessica Lynch "RESCUE"..you know the rescue with plastic bullets..the rescue that was fully staged and phony as a 3 dollar bill!

Even Pat Tillman knew it was propaganda...and a staged media blitz.....he wrote about it!

Pat Tillman: Jon Krakauer Book Details Rescue of Jessica Lynch - ABC News

Pat Tillman's First Mission Was Jessica Lynch Rescue
Author Jon Krakauer's Revealing New Book About Pat Tillman


By CHRIS FRANCESCANI

Sept. 11, 2009
And although Tillman played only a bit part in Lynch's rescue, he quickly concluded that the mission had motives beyond military strategy.

"We leave tomorrow,'' Tillman wrote in a series of journal entries in Jon Krakauer's 'Where Men Win Glory: The Odyssey of Pat Tillman," a new book about the tragic friendly fire death of the former NFL star who left a lucrative football career behind after 9/11 to serve in the military.

"This mission will be a P.O.W. rescue, a woman named Jessica Lynch. As awful as I feel for the fear she must face, and admire the courage I'm sure she's showing, I do believe this to be a big Public Relations stunt. Do not mistake me, I wish everyone in trouble to be rescued, but sending this many folks for a single low ranking soldier screams of media blitz."

17. front page AOL says about the same..police have not contacted Jullian, or Wikileaks see here>



http://www.aolnews.com/world/article/report-rape-investigation-of-wikileaks-founder-julian-assange/19602881?icid=main|htmlws-main-w|dl1|link3|http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aolnews.com%2Fworld%2Farticle%2Freport-rape-investigation-of-wikileaks-founder-julian-assange%2F19602881

snip; see highlight.

WikiLeaks commented on the rape allegations on its Twitter page. Apart from the comment from Assange, the page had a link to an article in Swedish tabloid Expressen, which first reported the allegations.

"We were warned to expect 'dirty tricks.' Now we have the first one," one Tweet said.

"Expressen is a tabloid; No one here has been contacted by Swedish police. Needless to say this will prove hugely distracting," said another.

20. But it's the very top of the TOP STORIES at the google news site!
Thank goodness Yahoo has kept a level head and maintains its unwavering focus on Julia Roberts, the Duggars brood, and Wyclef Jean.

22. You Read the Story about Digg and manipulation
I don't go to GOOGLE news
I use RRS and many other sources

Google news is a mathematical algorithm
that is easy manipulated if you have a super computer like
the Depart=mint of De=offense..

You only need a number of servers and a
simple program

I don't go to google news from the last
3 years to get my breaking news

Its crap

21. I see the "but it must true" crowd is out in force.
Just like the ACORN pimp story. We see how much truth was involved with that.

Dumbasses.
