Assange, is he a new mouthpiece of freedom or a victim of a political stunt?

Background of Assange
Australian born, Assange used to work as a programmer and a journalist. He's most famous of course, for being the brains and founder of controversial whistleblowing site, Wikileaks, which has landed in some hot water for disseminating and making public state secrets.The latest of course, named the famous 'cablegate' papers, originating from the USA.
Assange had a knack for computers, being a former hacker. This hobby landed me with trouble with the law at an early age, back in 1991.However he was acquited on a good bond behaviour, the prosecutor making a comment about him being more motivated by curiosity.
Potential of a Computer Guru
Julian Assange was really a computer guru in his own right. He was involved in the first public internet service provider, doing programmer and developing software. He even wrote a book, developed an encryption system, developed caching software and a command line interface. The brains on Assange's shoulders are indeed smart. Attending university, and studying hard subjects such as mathematics and physics, as well as neuroscience and philosophy.
Witchhunt of Assange --- Rape charges based on consensual sex?
It's no wonder after founding Wikileaks and releasing so much confidential information to the media and the public about what governments think of the rest of the world or what they do, that Assange sooner or later, would be subjected what some could reasonably call a 'witchhunt'.
Swedish authorities have said that Assange is accused by rape charges. Strange thing is, the women behing the allegations say they had 'consensual sex' with him. Now, that's the weirdest thing I've heard in my whole life. If sex wasn't consensual of course it is rape, but this sex was completely consensual in Assange's case, so how could he be accused of rape?.
The reason given for this 'consensual sex' to be rape, was that he refused to wear a condom. How weird. One would think if the so-called sex was consensual, then whether you wear a condom or not, makes no difference, the sex was still consensual. Assange was wanted on Interpol as well because he wouldn't wear a condom???
Most weird accusation ever, of the man who's probably made so many powerful enemies from the USA from the actions of his website, Wikileaks, smells more like a political action to silence him than a genuine case of rape because he wouldn't wear a condom. If he didn't want to wear a condom, why did the woman still chose to have sex with him, and then claim that the sex was consensual?
Weird.

Being a Swede myself, I must mention this:
Actually it can be good for JA to be extradited to Sweden, because the sexual charges has first priority over any extradition claims from the US. Also, before Sweden can extradite him, a Swedish court not only has to approve, it also has to ask UK authorities for permission, because he came from there. This means that two countries have to approve.
If the Swedish case is dropped, and JA is a free man, Sweden has to wait 2 weeks before they don’t have to ask UK for permission to extradite him. This case might actually be a good insurance for JA.
If he still is in Sweden, 2 weeks after acquittal or served time, not only has a Swedish court to approve the US claims (which he of course can appeal to higher court), but even the Swedish gouverment has to approve. They can actually change the court’s decision, and in the name of humanity deside to not extradite him. But, and this is important, the gouverment can’t change the court’s decision the other way around. Also, political or military reasons are not enough to extradite him from Sweden, in contrast with UK. And if the death penalty is even mentioned, an extradition is out of question.
These all issues and claims will take maybe 18 months. Time and a lot of juridically processes are Julian Assange’s best friends right now.

Let me begin by saying that this is a well written piece. As for JA and Wikileaks, I personally think that they are both a menace and need to be silent. He should consider himself lucky that the United States simply wants to extradite him and put him on trial, instead of terminating him with extreme prejudice.

Hi! I don't think Assange is a bad guy, a bit misguided maybe but we shall see what develops. If they ever do a film though, Liam Neeson could play Assange as he looks sooo like him, don't you think?

There could be a few hollywood movies out of this story. Assange Besieged, Assange King of the Geeks, Assange Revolutionary or Traitor?, the list could be endless I must say

The rape charges sound questionable. Maybe one thing the govenments of the world might learn from this is to be more like King Solomon.
