At this point, being arrested is probably the best thing for Assange

Of course I don't want him arrested, and I think the charges in Sweden stink like week old herring, but with all the nut cases out there who want him dead, his being in custody in Sweden is probably the safest place for him.

Assange is in England now. And the British press is reporting that his arrest is imminent.

1. I agree with you. However, I suspect that Assange is

not interested in being arrested, and that he may well take his own life before that happens. Sort of a self-martyrdom. Just a hunch.

5. No way! How do you figure it?

It would be 'convenient' for many if Assange were the depressed type.

7. As I said, it's just a hunch.

As such, it's just a hunch.

6. Jack Ruby springs to mind.

Cancer is injectible.

So, having had sex with willing partners is an arrestable offense? *jaw drops*

My strong intuition is that at least one of the women was an intelligence operative out to obrain Assange's DNA.
