| Assange's accusers hit back | |
| 2010-12-26 | |
| The two Swedish women who accuse Julian Assange of sex crimes are not pawns of the CIA but WikiLeaks supporters seeking justice for a violation of their "sexual integrity", their lawyer, Claes Borgstrom, has said. "He [Mr Assange] has been spreading false rumours he knows are untrue," Mr Borgstrom said. Denying that the women were part of a smear campaign, he said: "They, too, are supporters of WikiLeaks." Mr Assange denies allegations of sexual misconduct, which his lawyers say stem from a dispute over "consensual but unprotected sex". He is fighting extradition from Britain to Sweden.

| #3 Julian looks like Bill Maher. Of course he has to pay for it. And *then* he has to beg the prostitute. And then he tries to cheat her. So then she and her pimp beat him up and steal his wallet and watch. Finally, he complains that the two were part of a CIA plot. And next week, of course, he is out trolling for hookers again. |

| #2 WikiLeaksfounder baffled by sex assault claims Mr Assange regards himself as a victim of radicalism. "Sweden is the Saudi Arabia of feminism," he said. "I fell into a hornets' nest of revolutionary feminism." |

| #1 Dispute over consensual makes me think of a business transaction, D'ya suppose Julian has to pay for it? |
