For all the legitimate shots you could take at Assange, the rape charges are some of the weakest and least-founded in fact. When the prosecutor says "there's no reason to believe he's guilty of rape" and drops the charges, then 10 days later the charges are re-filed by a woman who's made it her mission to change Sweden's laws to classify many things that very clearly aren't rape as rape, that sets off my bullshit detector. I'm not one who buys into the US conspiracy angle, and I do think he should suck it up and go have his day in court, but I also don't think there's any evidence to suggest he did anything wrong.
