Under Muslim law showing too much ankle is punishable by death. We don't talk about women walking barefoot as committing a crime worthy of capital punishment.
I don't defend him or Wikileaks but when you refer to Assange as allegedly committing rape it doesn't bring up the thought that he had consensual sex without a condom. Doesn't seem fair to him or to people who have actually suffered what most of us consider rape.
I'm still shocked that he could be arrested for that while in another country. What if you walk on the lawn in the US and there is a sign that says not to? Can you be napped in Europe and sent to the US for trial? Actually this is worst since having sex without protection isn't a crime in the UK (at least as far as I know). This is really scary stuff the governments are up to here.
