You may have missed all the posts where I stated that "if" he was guilty of a crime he should be punished. Catz has seen them, since I had to actually repeat all them so she could see the word. She knows better but chose the dishonest route.

It is very bogus.
Assange is not charged with rape or molestation, as the mediawhores are claiming. He is charged under a strange Swedish law called sex by surprise, because he did not use a condom.
I think women should have the right to not be made pregnant against their will, myself.
But, hey, that's just me.
Interesting...
Basically, Assange had consentual sex with a woman who apparently insisted that he wear a condom and later she "discovered" that he didn't. I guess the only way to discover this is: 1) he told her he didn't; or, 2) she popped positive on a pregnancy test. Still, the question I have is this: Isn't the woman equally responsible? I remind my 20 yr old daughter all the time DON'T rely on the man doing the honorable thing where sex is concerned. If necessary, YOU bring the condoms and watch him put it on before you lay down with him. Otherwise, you're just as liable as he is. I give the same advice to my married 24-yr old daughter; if you don't want to come up pregnant, you have to take the precausionary measures. (In the case of my married daughter, she would of course have to discuse such issues with her spouse and that's between them. Still...) The issue here is taking responsibility for one's self. I'm not so sure all the blame can be placed on Assange in this case.
Oh, give it a rest. Your statements about his guilt seemed much more declarative when I was reading them, which is why I asked you repeatedly what crimes you believed he'd committed. This passive aggressive b.s. is beneath you.
Throw Assange into an American jail and he will have all the surprise sex he can handle for the rest of his life.
This gets funnier every time i hear a conservative hoping for his rape and execution! Haha! [/s]
Funny, let's look at the most recent by a real dependable news organization(AP in this case): Judge denies WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange bail - Yahoo! News
Based on that, rape sounds like a valid description of the charge.
Right, we already see here attack the rape victim mentality, while calling this meglomaniac wikilieaks guy a "Victim"....
I oppose capital punishment. I don't want Assange executed. I want him reemed. Over, and over and over again. All without condoms.
Because advocating rape - gang rape, specifically - is so much better...
Not what happened. Please read the links provided in the last couple of pages to find out what happened.
In August, Mr Assange was the key speaker at a seminar on "war and the role of the media" in Stockholm, and met "Sarah", Britain's Daily Mail reports.
Mr Assange stayed at the apartment of the well-known radical feminist (who can't be named for legal reasons) and during his stay the two had sexual intercourse. It is not disputed by either of them that the condom broke, which is a key aspect of the case, The Australian reports.
A few days later Mr Assange also met "Jessica", a young woman who sought to meet the activist after the seminar. Jessica alleges that Mr Assange refused to wear a condom during a second sexual encounter between them.
Swedish law considers unprotected sex as rape but Swedish sources have doubted the credibility of the women, who many people believe set up a "honey trap" for the Australian activist.
Jessica made contact with Sarah and the two women went to police on August 20 so Jessica could make a complaint against Mr Assange. Both women told their accounts of meeting Mr Assange.
Based on the allegations of a sabotaged condom in one case and a refusal to wear one in the other, the female interviewing officer believed that Jessica had been raped and Sarah had been sexually molested.
Assange had consentual sex with a woman who apparently insisted that he wear a condom and later she "discovered" that he didn't.
I do not think this phrase "passive aggressive" means what you think it does. Making accurate and complete statements is not passive aggressive. Making dishonest claims when you have even had it pointed out they are dishonest is, well, dishonest.
Other people want to give him a Nobel Peace Prize (I exaggerate), for the same reason.
/snerkActually, I had not considered that. It would be rather apt in my opinion.

I suppose...
Edit: Highly unlikely to ever happen, though, he's pissed too many governments off...
Exactly why it wouldn't really be promoting peace. He's just throwing everyone's dirty laundry out there for the hell of it without much thought of consequences.
Why is real life starting to feel like the Anime "Death Note"?
From the HeraldSun.com:
But The Mail on Sunday has managed to obtain copies of the women’s police statements, which are made available to the media in Sweden.
'When they got back they had sexual relations, but there was a problem with the condom - it had split.
'She seemed to think that he had done this deliberately but he insisted that it was an accident.’
Whatever her views about the incident, she appeared relaxed and untroubled at the seminar the next day where Assange met Woman B, another pretty blonde, also in her 20s, but younger than Woman A.
Most of what then followed has been blacked out in her statement, except for: ‘It felt boring and like an everyday thing.’
One source close to the investigation said the woman had insisted he wear a condom, but the following morning he made love to her without one.
This was the basis for the rape charge. But after the event she seemed unruffled enough to go out to buy food for his breakfast.

They ate in an atmosphere that was tense, though she said in her statement that she tried to lighten the mood by joking about the possibility that she might be pregnant.
They parted on friendly terms and she bought his train ticket back to Stockholm. When she asked if he would call, he said: ‘Yes, I will.’
But he did not and neither did he answer her call.
The drama took a bizarre and ultimately sensational turn after she called the office of Woman A, whom she had briefly met at the seminar.
The two women talked and realised to their horror and anger that they had both been victims of his charm.
The issue of unprotected sex left a fear of disease. It is believed that they both asked him to take a test for STDs and he refused.
Woman B was especially anxious about the possibility of HIV and pregnancy.
And it was in this febrile state that the women, who barely knew each other, walked into a police station and began to tell their stories.
Woman A said afterwards that she had not wanted to press charges but had gone to support the younger woman, who wanted police advice on how to get Assange to take a medical test.
The story was leaked to a Swedish tabloid and Assange’s high profile led to the case being taken over by a senior female prosecutor who, after reading the statements, concluded there was no evidence of rape.
Actually, I had not considered that. It would be rather apt in my opinion.
