mhaze,

Admitting when one is wrong is a character
strengthener. And my character is pretty
strong. So depending on my mood swings
I've been wrong many times. No question
about that. Are you so perfect?
I envy you if you are. Me? Depends on the
mood I'm in. Hence I give links and references
that can be checked - at least most of the time.

Now back to the topic.

Again to stop the accusations of my being wrong -
here are two links for posters to make up their
own minds: (How's that mhaze - we good?)
Be aware Sir, these are not my opinions - I am
referring you to professional sources - if you
disagree - attack them, not me. Thank You.
I think that's fair. I hope you understand English
or do I have to translate it for you?

The charges against JA were a complete joke brought about by the left whinge Swedish socialists that assume that a man is guilty of rape unless the woman has given consent that is in writing, in triplicate, witnessed and notarized, and not later revoked when the woman changes her mind.

In spite of this, the US government would have nothing to charge him with if he had not directly involved himself with Bradley Manning firstly coaxing him to release files, then offering assistance to extract them effectively making him an accomplice in the offence for which Manning was sentenced to 35 years.

SM,

Thank You for that.
You've raised a very valid point.

Yes Shadow Minister I agree with Foxy well said

Foxy and Belly,

I appreciate your support, even if my assessment of the Swedish judicial system was somewhat tongue in cheek.

Shadow Minister,

And ours wasn't?

Well done.
