Wikileaks founder Julian Assange: Innocent or Guilty?

Asked by ETpro (34605points) August 16th, 2012

News broke today that Ecuador has decided to offer Assange political asylum. It is unclear how he will get to Ecuador, however. He is currently in London and thought to be within the Ecuadorian Embassy to avoid arrest and extradition to Sweden by Great Britain. It is likely if he is sent to Sweden on the assault charges that Sweden will extradite him to the USA to face espionage charges for his disclosures of embarrassing and potentially illegal US activities in Iraq and elsewhere.

Do you think Assange is guilty of the assault he’s been charged with, or is he being set up as punishment for Wikileaks exposing the corruption of various governments and powerful corporate interests?
