I don't know; probably not for the hell of it, or just because. Not familiar at all with this.

nothing to do with Bolivia's president, Evo Morales, throwing the U.S. (Bush Junta) ambassador out of Bolivia for funding, supporting and organizing a violent white separatist insurrection (in late 2008), nothing to do with Morales throwing the DEA out of Bolivia for the same reason, and Bolivians legalizing the coca leaf (a traditional Indian medicine), and Morales being the head of the coca leaf farmers union; nothing to do with U.S. support for transglobal corporate/war profiteer brutalities and domination in Latin America, and theft of resources, and "privatization" of everything, and egregious looting of Latin American economies; nothing to do with U.S. government hostility to real democracy in Latin America; nothing to do with Latin Americans' assertion of social justice--of which Morales is a major leader--nor to Latin America's assertion of independence, self-rule and sovereignty, at long last.

No, nothing to do with any of this and everything to do with "technical matters" of the kind that really bother the U.S. government--ahem, like the warrant put out by the Swedish government to ARREST a journalist who is charged with NOTHING in Sweden, who has made himself available for "questioning" on "sexual assault" allegations that were so flimsy and absurd, the first prosecutor dropped the case and told the journalist he could leave the country, but then the second prosecutor decided on the career-boosting move of getting him into custody in any way possible, by reviving the flimsy and absurd allegations, refusing to question him and instead issuing a warrant!

Well, we can be sure that those kinds of "technical matters" won't matter to the U.S. government if the plan to get Julian Assange into custody for the crime of journalism works out. It won't matter that he hasn't been charged with ANY assault of any kind. It won't matter that he repeatedly made himself available for "questioning." The distinct smell of "dirty tricks" won't matter. Nothing will matter, and the U.S. government will stop at nothing, to bury this journalist in a deep, dark dungeon like Bradley Manning.

Slaughtering protestors, though, in Latin America, is a far less serious matter than embarrassing the U.S. government and disclosing its dirty secrets. Violent fascist repression requires perfectly crossed T's and dotted I's, to get a U.S.-supported fascist asshole out of U.S. protection, while non-controllable journalism requires NOTHING for extradition. Nothing! No charges. No case. A trumped up warrant about "questioning"! THAT will be okay, mark my words, if they ever get their hands on Julian Assange. He will have all the rights of an "enemy combatant" in Guantanamo Bay.

This ABCNews report is utter bullshit. They oughta be ashamed but they are really well beyond being shameable for re-typing CIA faxes and touting them as "news."

"Technical matter," my ass!
