Zandar's Thought Of The Day

It is difficult to reconcile these ideas, but I will attempt to anyway.

1) Any accusation of rape must be taken with absolute seriousness and must be fully investigated.  No exceptions.  None.

2) There are those who have openly said that Wikileaks founder Julian Assange must be destroyed and Wikileaks stopped by whatever means necessary.

3) Julian Assange has been accused of rape in Sweden.

A spokeswoman for the Swedish prosecutors office says WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is wanted on suspicion of rape and he should contact police for questioning.

Spokeswoman Karin Rosander tells The Associated Press that a prosecutor in Stockholm issued an arrest warrant for Assange late Friday and that authorities have not yet heard from him.

Rosander says Assange is suspected of molestation and rape in two separate cases and "should contact police so that he can be confronted with the suspicions."

Assange denied the charges Saturday on WikiLeaks' Twitter page, saying they "are without basis and their issue at this moment is deeply disturbing."

Needless to say, Assange doesn't have a choice other than to turn himself in and face this investigation.

[UPDATE] Except now I'm hearing news that Swedish authorities have withdrawn the warrant citing the allegations are unfounded?!?

Now this is getting crazy.
