This is a normal post I quite like him
but if I ever pipe up with that opinion it quickly goes into a "he's a rapist. You support rapists. Do you hate women?" Hence I don't really bother mentioning him these days.

This is a normal post yeah I know
I thought he was some kind of hero but apparently the mob is a bit fickle.

This is a normal post "the mob". pfffft.
How fortunate we are to be in the presence of your informed and superior intellect.

This is a normal post intellect is no guarantor against mobs, unfortunately.
I don't know what else you call it when one moment someone's a hero, and then somebody cries "rape" and suddenly he's a villain.

This is a normal post he's evading the judicial process.
Which to most people is suggestive of some degree of guilt
 (benito vaselini no not that one, Thu 16 Aug 2012, 14:43, Reply)
This is a normal post he is,
the problem is when the judicial process is the puppet of the CIA.

This is a normal post Yes the nordic democracies are famously in the pocket of the CIA.

Sweden also has a long history of participating in international military operations, including most recently, Afghanistan, where Swedish troops are under NATO command

This is a normal post His claimed reasons for doing so make it far more suggestive of paranoid delusions
(IMO)

This is a normal post or paranoid facts

This is a normal post Okay, let's comprimise... can we agree on "paranoia"?
I haven't seen any convincing evidence that he'd actually get shipped off to the US by Sweden.

But then, there's a conspicuous lack of assurances that he wouldn't be.

This is a normal post the whole extradition arrangement is extremely asymetric,
when the US want somebody, they get them.

This is a normal post I reckon it's more the case that the UK won't do it so soon after McKinnon
So Sweden stepped up, I seem to remember (hazily) a 15 year old Swedish kid being arrested by the FBI a while back. They raided his house, in Sweden. They have form.

EDIT: Shit, can't find any trace of the story... it had something to do with DVD copy protection or something, and the code ended up on T-Shirts... did I dream all that?

This is a normal post I think you mean this chap:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Lech_Johansen. He was Norwegian. Wasn't the FBI breaking down his door either I'm afraid, but I guess you could say the Americans "started it" if you wanted to.

This is a normal post yeah maybe
it reminds me a little of the concept of electric fences mentioned in the book Flat Earth News.

An example give is that it's difficult to criticise Israel without people shouting that it's anti-semitic. Hence lots of quite reasonable people just pull faces and choose to talk about something else rather than getting shouted at.

This is a normal post many on here get bored of people in the news
and turn on them very quickly, usually for no good reason. possibly something to do with smugness or something equally stupid? I for one support him, and i can only think that those who have turned on him are playing perfectly into the hands of those who are running this smear campaign against him
