John Pilger calls it “a superb truth-telling piece” in the wsws letters section .

Its wrong to link Assanges case with that of Polanski. Polanski was convicted of (and admitted to) drugging and raping a 13 year old girl. Assange is accused of raping 2 adults, one of whom held a party for Assange after she first slept with him (the occasion which the rape supposedly occurred).
It is also wrong to use this as an excuse for feminist bashing as many feminists have supported Assange.
Making a mockery of the real crime of rape

This article gives some background information on the "victims" one of which, Anna Ardin turns out to be an anti castro activist. Big surprise!
Nobody talking at all about the accusers publicly. How many times has Anna Ardin and her links to anti cuba activities been mentioned?
Yet every time they mention Julian Assange, the word rape is also mentioned in the same sentence.
Thats the nature of a successful propaganda smear campaign.
He is already guilty in most people's minds at this stage.
This was a "honeypot" set up job, followed by a systematic media smear campaign to assassinate his character and make that the story instead of covering the cables themselves properly. When the cables ARE covered in the MSM they tend to dwell on selective tidbits which are in keeping with imperialist policy such as the divisive comments on Iran.
..set for return to court.
WSWS reports on Julian Assange's appearance at Belmarsh magistrates’ court, London, yesterday for a preliminary hearing on the extradition warrant issued against him by Sweden’s public prosecutor.

..he didn't seek refuge in Ireland. He'd be in Guantanamo by now.
No doubt they are grooming a few loose cannons for a potential hit.
Can't have that sort of example; not in the Free World.
