who don't quite/or perhaps do understand the privacy/publicity problems of kissing up to the
court/prosecution/investigation on facebook

and if they understand, how totally funny and madcap! to send someone's name through the
rape mud, just for laughs and never even tie up the loose threads on what could have been a
very excellent character assassination

charming

as charming as aaron burr's "cyber" security emails

sloppy work, but better try next time

jon stewart has a good stab at obama protecting torture and the end of habeas corpus.

awesome.
jon stewart is dead on regarding the whole racist nature of guantanamo.

oh yes and the assange scandal bust-up:

EXPRESSEN DELUXE:

Had correspondence
Already sixteen months before Julian Assange came to Sweden, invited by the
woman who later reported him, the police interrogator and the woman had open
correspondence through the internet.
The police interrogator in April 2009 quoted a blog contribution that the
Assange-woman had written about white men “who takes the right to decide
what is not abusive”. The police interrogator establishes that her party
friend “puts her finger on the bottom line and speaks out”.
The Assange-woman answered by leaving a personal greeting on the blog of
the police interrogator:
“Hello! Thanks for the compliment. And like you say, white men must
always defend the right to use abusive words. Then they of course deny
that these very words are part of a system that keeps their group at the
top of the social ladder”.
Sixteen months later the female police officer, as interrogator in the
Assange investigation, would play an important role when the duty
prosecutor ordered the arrest of the Wikileaks-founder, suspected of
rape and sexual molestation.
The female police officer had just started her shift at the Klara police
station in central Stockholm when the two women showed up. It was
on the afternoon of August 20. Just sixteen hours later Expressens
scoop of the arrest order against Julian Assange became worldwide
news.
The female police soon realised that her friend and party colleague
was one of the plaintiffs – yet she was still the first to interrogate
one of the women in the case. At 16.21 she started the questioning
of the other plaintiff, without reporting a conflict of interest that
made her participation in the case challengeable.
This questioning session initially came to play a decisive role
when on duty prosecutor Maria Häljebo Kjellstrand decided to
 order the arrest of Julian Assange.
Häljebo Kjellstrand decided that the facts reported to the
police interrogation were so credible that the level of suspicion
was probable cause.

“Way to go, Claes Borgström!!!”

When the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet recently let it’s readers chat with
Assange the interrogator commented:
“What the heck is this??? Judgement zero!!!
The day before she wrote in a status update on her Facebook-page:
“Way to go, Claes Borgström!!!”
