Julian Assange and Brad Manning are true blue heros.  They have revealed the war mongering agenda of an overly aggressive and murderous Washington.  They deserve a Nobel peace prize. Right wing Neocon Democrat-in-disguise demon Obama does not.

Assange should stop this facade, and go to Sweden to face his accusers. The mask is just another attempt for him to garner attention on himself. The ruling from both the extradition hearing, and the appeal are both available. Both documents demonstrate that Assange is being accused of what would fall under Rape laws both in UK and his native Australia. The soon he is able to defend himself, the soon he can be this episode behind him. The shock in belief that Assange must have is understandable, but it doesn't mean he should defend himself.

The controversial cyberspace activist is accused of raping a woman in Stockholm back in 2010. He is also wanted by the Swedish authorities for questioning over sexual assault allegations. Assange denies the claims, saying they are politically motivated.

Why does RT completely ignore the fact that these charges were processed before, found invalid, and then reinstated after Assange released the material about the US helo crew murdering reporters as the crew laughed an dcelebrated as if it was playing a game? Isn't that relevant to the story? Isn't this an example of the very sort of journalism Assange opposes?
