Re: Clay Shirky's nuanced position on Wikileaks

I guess it doesn't matter that one of the women's job was as a "campus  
sexual equity officer" and had a blog post up for months on how to  
legally entrap a man to get revenge for these types of matters.  Nor  
does her actions (twitter posts and getting and serving Assange  
breakfast afterwards, etc..) after the evenings in question that seem  
to not sound like they were coming from an assualted woman.

But I guess all of that will get sorted out in the courts now  
(right).  Sounds like a he said/she said to me and judging from her  
background, I think she seems to know exactly what she is doing.
Denied bail on the grounds he would fail to surrender?  He turned  
himself in voluntarily.   That doesn't make sense.
This guy could be scum of the earth, but this has all the appearances  
of a man being railroaded for political reasons.
