Crazy stuff actually:

I'm guessing it's Sweden's attempt to get him into custody before someone like the Russians end up simply putting a hit out on him.

If he can get out of this, these governments will have one hell of a libel case to deal with...

New Swedish definition of rape

Actually, there is an internationally recognized standard.
If you have enough money, we'll charge anyone with anything.
Such "suspects" are usually built up as emotionally unstable in the process.
That way the suicide and or crimes committed while in custody are justifiably accepted.
This is only hypothetical of any coincidences in the present future of disaster recovery politics.

I'm sure the Russians would make it look like a typical traffic accident with some sort of accident later happening in the hospital where the man just happens to be poisoned.

But that's such a cost ineffective idea.

Killing all journalists that would release KGB secrets the second they receive them is going to cost a lot. Poison does not grow in trees.

If you are an evil Russian organization, here's a much easier way to protect your secrets: Kill the inside guy that will leak them.

We are so unnecessarily giving mythical aspects to Assange when he is just a journalist in front of a web site. Most media outlets would do the same he does if they received leaked documents that are compromising. Heck, I can totally picture Fox News releasing leaked documents that prove Obama's administration is corrupt.

True, they have added motive to make it look like the CIA killed the guy.

Then CIA has motive to protect his life.

What a completely inane assessment.

Any party to sexual intercourse is free to withdraw consent at any time, for any reason. "Stop touching me!" is an order that no person is permitted to ignore. The question of whether or not a condom was used, and whether or not it broke is entirely incidental to the factual question of whether consent was withdrawn and the withdrawal of consent was communicated to the other party.

It also bears noting that these are allegations, untested in a Court. It is not the proper function of the police to make an assessment of the guilt or innocence of an accused. The function of the police is to present the evidence to a prosecutor, who must make a professional judgement about whether there is a reasonable prospect of conviction before taking the matter forward to trial.

The suggestion that Sweden is, "making it up as they go along," is simply inflammatory. "Rape," as it is conventionally understood at common law does indeed involve violence. In fact, rape has an affirmative requirement of penetration, which caused many countries to eliminate rape as an offence and replace it with the much more meaningful, "sexual assault" that allows for the criminalization of a broader range of unacceptable behaviour.

Perhaps these charges are a canard. Perhaps the women involved are liars. But it is not for me, you or the media to make that decision, but rather a court of competent jurisdiction.
