It's a longshot to think this material just happened to fall into his hands.
He will be in trouble for quite some time. Stolen material don't mean freedom of press. What makes this bloke a journalist. I think he has got terrorist leanings

Well I thought it was a good article, but I didn't know it was an
Interpol warrant. Because there is no outstanding warrant against
Julian in Sweden? Yet? So without being charged and any prosecution
papers served on him, how can his lawyers prepare any defense? He hasn't murdered anyone, or is a sought after terrorist.

My mind boggles too, as reported in the media, one woman claims he didn't use a condom, after having consented to sex, while she was asleep?

Where's the evidence madam, he didn't use a condom if you were asleep, had a DNA test immediately after wards to prove this? Gosh the mind boggles? Any reasonable defense counsel and especially
Geoffrey Robertson, and why wait so long before making allegations.
After Julian was associated with leaks, that are far from him being
charged with anything illegal. Can you see anyone with intelligence
forcing this, when the media are all focused on this. I can't.
But competition websites are now opening and getting on the gravy train, that might target other than the West. So wait for more astounding leaks, eh? A tit for tat against other countries other than the US of A.

The Swedish prosecutors have appealed the court's decision to grant him bail. An the appeal has to be served by tomorrow. Thursday.
And if I know British Justice, the appeal will be dismissed.

Wikileeks is just another furfee, he wasn't charged over anything to do with this. And if anyone doesn't see the stupidity of these Swedish charges, can't rule out some kind of comspiracy to warn him
to belt up or else.

My impression is the the allegations are at the low end of the scale by the standards of sexual assault. That does not make them Ok but it does give cause for concern over the treatment of someone who at this point should still be considered innocent.

According to media reports the Swedish government is pushing to have Assange held in custody until his next hearing in February. The banks have supposedly frozen his accounts making it difficult to pay his bail money (assuming that he beats the challenge by the Swed's.

Given that he handed himself in to authorities the idea that he should be held in custody for around 2 months seem way out of line. Assuming that his arrest is not at all related to the other business then in what way is it just to jail someone for two month's without trial and with no clear risk to the public?

Robert, bail has been offered by celebrities, but they have to present
it in cash. If they do, and there is no reason why they can't his
bail conditions, already quite stringent, should be upheld.

Keep faith in Geoffrey Robertson, look he has enough cash to pay the bail money himself if needed.

I've written to the Swedish Ambassador in Australia. email: sweden@iimetro.com.au. I complained his stringent bail conditions are quite severe anyway, precluding him running away. That I believe is the basis of the Swede's appeal against his bail being granted.

The charges, well no one knows for sure exactly what shape these charges are contrived? Without knowing this his defense team can't
prepare a proper defense case?

Look have faith in the British legal system. I mean if it wasn't so serious and the association with the embarrassing Wikileaks to various
governments, this alleged 'rape' charge would be funny.

If the woman/women were so alarmed at him not wearing a condom, why didn't they do something immediately after wards. Had he been a willful transmitter of a STD or HIV, then I would be worried, especially when the law in my land was on my side. And that works both ways too! But these events date back to August? And where are the DNA tests to prove he didn't use a condom. Could have been another man for all we know. Weak case and one that Geoffrey Robertson will tear apart.

Geoffrey Robertson described the allegations as "flimsy".
I agree, that if it wasn't so serious it would be amusing. I wonder how many other Swedish condom crimes are on the Interpol books?

Here's an article giving a good commentary on Assange's legal situation.
