The article says the women were afraid of his power. That's a laugh. His power as Wikileaks founder is the ability to publish leaked documents! I'm pretty sure individuals are safe from him.
This is an even worse PR disaster, unless they have an ace up their sleeve. Suddenly, the CIA (doesn't matter if it even was them in the first place most people would just assume it), the scary CIA, of conspiracy theorists dreams whimpers and drops charges in a smear campaign?<p>This is why I doubt it if it's over yet. No one trying to run a smear can be <i>this</i> stupid. It simply doesn't make sense.
Its really interesting to see this play out. One of the big questions is this a ploy to discredit WikiLeaks? If it isn't then why are these people coming up with these allegations? Is it because he is a celebrity?
