"Crimes"? "Honest"? Apparantly a lot of people have forgotten what the
Washington Post published about Watergate, and how that information became
public. A lot of people didn't like that either - and just look at what
happened then.

Guilty of what? The charge is "rape" (in Sweden consensual sex without a
condom), not "bad journalism".

At any rate, I agree that if he's caught at this point, his chances of getting
to a court alive are pretty slim - "tragic accidents" can happen... or maybe
they'll just shoot him "while attempting to escape". That was popular back in
the days of dear old Adolf.

Only problem there is that Wikileaks will someday publish the memos and emails
of the people who ordered it ;-)

Cheers, Bob
