The Wire

What happens when an influential movement faces bad publicity? Swedish police recently issued an arrest warrnant for Julian Assange, the founder of the online political force Wikileaks. Assange was charged with raping on woman and molesting another in Stockholm. Due to lack of evidence, the rape charge has been dropped but the molestation charge remains. Assange says he’s innocent and claims he’s the victim of a “smear campaign” orchestrated by the Pentagon who are out to get him for publishing over 90 thousand leaked US military documents relating to the Afghan war.
