The Thirty Seventh Blog Of Trig - The Assange Wikiwatch Response

This is my response to "The Assange Extradition Conspiracy Explained" (I wonder if my comment will be censored on the site..?):

"April 2010: Wikileaks releases a video of a 2007 US military helicopter strike on Baghdad, Iraq, and the casualties that resulted from this. Bradley Manning, an American soldier, is charged and arrested for leaking the information.

July 2010: Wikileaks releases classified US military documents on the war in Afghanistan revealing details of civilian victims and alleged links between Pakistan and the Taliban.

August 2010: A Swedish court issues an arrest warrant for Assange on charges of rape made by two Swedish women, who were also former employees of Wikileaks but then decides to postpone the warrant until November.

October 2010: Wikileaks releases some 400,000 accounts written by American soldiers from 2004 to 2009 revealing that the US decided to ignore cases of torture by Iraqi authorities on civilians.

November 2010: Swedish prosecutor re-issues European arrest warrant for Assange. Ten days later, Wikileaks releases classified US diplomatic cables, revealing assessments of American officials on a range of issues together with views of other governments.

Now, what idiot wants to try and pretend there isn't something fishy about the chronology of events here? What idiot wants to try and pretend that America doesn't invest more than any other country in the world into their military and intelligence agencies and doesn't like to be embarrassed? What idiot wants to try and pretend that America would not have the inclination and ability to invest some money and flex some muscle to cause some trouble for the man whose organisation has embarrassed them on an unprecedented scale? The America which has just signed NDAA allowing indefinite detention of its own citizens without trial. The America responsible for the violent deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent people, destroying cities full of families, with bombs tipped with nuclear waste and other horrors. The America that has armed guards in its schools and the highest prisoner population in the world. The America which maintains over 1000 military bases with military personnel in around 150 countries, spending an estimated $250 billion a year to maintain them. Is that the America we are told would not be bothered about being so embarrassed by Wikileaks? Is that the America we are to believe would have no covert or overt response to such an embarrassment? Is that the America we are to believe has no interest in discrediting, humiliating or otherwise destroying who they see to be the prime architect of their embarrassment? That person being Julian Assange. WHAT IDIOT thinks we are stupid enough to not question this? WHAT IDIOT MADE THIS SITE? Probably a well-paid idiot."

Really Wikiwatch? I don't really care about what David Allen Green and Peter Ede have to say if they don't at least wonder about this a little, but your flat denial of any question as to the facts of the situation is laughable. That is all.
