>I just don’t think there is any good evidence for this being a conspiracy.
For us, there's no evidence for anything. All we know is that someone powerful governments don't like has been accused of some very suspicious sounding charges right before releasing some kind of potentially sensitive document.
>Just take a moment and think about what would be necessary to frame someone. That doesn’t seem like a simple task to me.
It's very simple in the case of things like rape. You just get someone to make a claim and sit back and wait. Did you read the article? The women simply asked advice of the police and the police filed charges without any evidence from them. This is how rape is handled in Sweden (among other places) since women are often afraid to come forward. There is nothing to go on but the word of two anonymous women.
>They, too, must know that they would be under intense scrutiny the moment they talked to the police.
So far it appears that they've only talked over the phone (that's all it takes). As far as I understand they haven't even given a statement or any evidence.
> Lying to the police is no joke, it’s a crime.
If you can prove it. How are you going to prove they're lying? Even if you could prove they didn't have sex that wouldn't prove they didn't believe what they told the police. You would have to prove they were never alone with him.
> It’s also a risk for the briber.
If they even know who the briber was.
- ugh 16y agoLong interviews. Psychological evaluation. Media inquiries. Maybe a trial. That’s what those two women will face. And if they were indeed bribed they know that they were bribed even if they don’t know who bribed them. Seems awfully risky to me, both for the women and the briber. To me there doesn’t seem to be a rational reason to do it.
- jbjohns 16y agoThen why is it done if there's no reason? There is a huge risk for certain people to leave wikileaks alone. I'd say that if there is a briber there is virtually no risk for him/her what-so-ever.
