Julian Assange defiant as Sweden drops rape investigation

[BBC] Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has said he will not forgive and forget attempts to arrest him over rape allegations which led him to seek asylum in Ecuador's London embassy.

Hailing an "important victory", he said he was prepared for dialogue with the US and UK authorities. Mr Assange, 45, is wanted in the US over the leaking of military and diplomatic documents.

Sweden said on Friday it had decided to drop its rape investigation. Meanwhile Ecuador urged the UK to allow him safe passage out of the country. The Wikileaks founder has chosen to remain in the embassy as he fears extradition to Sweden would lead to extradition to the US.

#3 he said he was prepared for dialogue with the US and UK authorities.

...Sadly, the authorities in question aren't the ones who were in authority when this whole mess started. Hope Julie likes Ecuadorian food; he's still going to be eating it for a while.

#4 The rape accusation was a complete joke. He had consensual sex and then the woman changed her mind.
Also what he did wasn't illegal in the country he did it so America is barking up the wrong tree if it extradites.
