Y TODAVÍA MÁS sobre los días de Assange en Suecia, en el Mail Online:
Esta observación es muy atinada:
El coordinador de Wikileaks en Suecia insiste en que las dos mujeres no habrían ido a la policía si Assange se hubiese hecho la prueba del SIDA; y que el que se trate de un complot de la CIA es cacadalavaca.
- In the same week that Mr Assange had sex with Ms A and Ms W, he ended the relationship between a well-known American reporter and his girlfriend by blatantly attempting to seduce her during a dinner at a Stockholm restaurant. Having left the restaurant hand in hand with Mr Assange, the woman did not spend the night at the hotel where she had been sharing a bed with the American.
- Mr Assange has lied about aspects of his work. At a public meeting in London, he falsely claimed that the ‘Climategate’ emails from the University of East Anglia were first published by WikiLeaks. In fact, the emails were published by specialist climate websites in America and Canada – yet Mr Assange spent several minutes lamenting how he had found publishing them morally difficult because they boosted the arguments of global-warming sceptics.
- A senior journalist who worked closely with Mr Assange at the Guardian, and helped broker the deal that saw the paper become one of a handful of media organisations around the world with privileged, early access to successive WikiLeaks documents, has refused to continue dealing with him. It is understood that staff at other organisations, including Der Spiegel in Germany and Al Jazeera television, have also grown unhappy with his methods. One reporter said: ‘He can be extremely dictatorial. I’ve seen this first-hand.’

Amid the claims by Mr Assange that the sexual allegations against him are an American plot, it has been forgotten that when Mr Assange went to Sweden last summer, he said he believed he would be better protected from arrest for leaking America’s secrets there than in Britain, and that Sweden would be the ideal place to base the WikiLeaks computer servers.Lo de la primera historia de arriba es particularmente revelador:
However, once he arrived, he seemed determined to exploit the ‘rock star’ status that followed the publication of WikiLeaks’ first huge trove of US documents, the so-called ‘Iraq war logs’.
On Wednesday, August 11, the day Mr Assange flew in from London, he was invited to dinner at Stockholm’s Beirut restaurant with the Wiki¬Leaks Swedish co-ordinator, the co-ordinator’s girlfriend and an American journalist who was travelling through Scandinavia with an English woman.Antes de que digáis lo que he pensado yo mismo en un principio ("vaya, el Mail, periodismo de kalidá"), recordad que se trata de citas del sumario.
From the beginning, the American journalist told The Mail on Sunday, Mr Assange was unusually rude, and when he offered him a copy of his recent, well-reviewed book, he said: ‘Don’t bother. I’d only throw it away.’ After that, he says Mr Assange ignored him, focusing intently on his girlfriend instead.
‘He was acting as if she were a single girl on her own, though it must have been obvious to him that we were together.’
Later, when the woman said she was going outside to smoke, Mr Assange left the table to join her.
The American journalist, who spoke out on condition of anonymity, said: ‘When they hadn’t come back after 45 minutes I went to see what was happening.
‘They were standing very close together a little way down the street, and Julian was whispering in her ear.’
Even then, they did not come in. The group finally left when the restaurant closed for the night. The journalist turned round and saw that Mr Assange and his girlfriend were walking hand in hand, and when he asked him what was happening, ‘he dropped into a classic fighter’s pose, with his fists up’.
The writer spent the night alone.
‘Assange seemed to take pleasure in humiliating me,’ he said.
‘He tried to take this woman away from me and then spent the night with two other women later in the week. It’s extraordinary.’
