Has anyone seen this article? I came across it while looking for the various articles on the alleged Rape charge that Sweden leveled on this guy so they could get him on Swedish soil to hand him over to the U.S. (By the way half of the articles that all the information about how this all unfolded and how the one person accusing assange of Rape is connected to the U.S. in some way I can't find. I can't find relaible sources that depended on. I see a few blogs here and there but nothing with the proof like Think Progress articles and such sites.)
Anyways this was written Feb 2012.

(146,317 posts)Email from a "private intelligence company." Cool. I think I'll become one of those and issue my own "reports."
This information is useless without some sort of corroboration.

(146,317 posts)This story has a credibility of maybe 5%, at best. I pay little attention to unattributed writing like this. What's in that Stratfor "report?" The story at the link has zero verifiable information. It's someone tossing shit into the air to see if any of it sticks. I call bullshit on this, especially given its age and lack of additional information since that time.
Lots of people write lots of shit. Time will tell.

I doubt I'll be self-deleting this post.
