To my knowledge Snowden isn't wanted for questioning over an alleged rape...
Edit : Why the downvotes?
Edit 2 : Changed from "To my knowledge Snowden hasn't raped anyone..."
- madaxe_again 12y agoAnd to my knowledge neither has Assange. He has been accused of rape, which isn't the same thing as being found guilty of rape. I accuse you of being a pederast - therefore you should report yourself to the police? No? No. It doesn't work that way.
- corin_ 12y agoIt does work that way. If someone accused me of being a pederast/paedophile (acting not just medically) then I would very much expect the police to want to interview me, and either clear me of all wrong doing or prosecute if it was true. And that's how it should be. How else would anyone ever get convicted of a crime if they can just say "I'm not going near the police or a trial until I've already been proven guilty"?
- alex_hitchins 12y agoI've edited my comment however still feels it validates the point. The Snowden and Asange cases are not one and the same.
- matthewmacleod 12y agoWell, they both pretty obviously committed crimes - if the respective accusations are true. So it's difficult to see the difference between "accused of rape" and "accused of release of classified information".
