Wikileaks founder accused of rape, has accusation withdrawn and now faces other charges

Think of all of those sweet sweet thrillers where an aide to the President, a maverick FBI agent or some other everyman is framed for some spectacular form of treason only to foil the Feds, run along the top of a train at some point and befriend an Eastern European - the only person he can trust...remember that (those) movie(s)?

I'm not saying the same thing is happening to Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange, but it probably is. Last weekend a warrant was issued against him in Sweden on charges of rape, less than 24 hours later it was revoked, now he's being sought on charges of "molestation" which in Sweden is a broadly encompassing charge including sexual harassment.

I bring this up because I'm not adverse to a good conspiracy theory and recently Mr. Assange pissed off the entire American government - a bold move.

Anyway, make your own conclusions on the story but no matter what, this story would make a great Hollywood script.
