Assange charged with rape?

One of the best articles I read in a while…

Especially this quote

In 2003, the ex-Marine and U.N. weapons inspector Scott Ritter – who had become one of the most persuasive opponents of the attack on Iraq, repeatedly and presciently insisting that there was no evidence of WMD – was the subject of a media smear campaign, accusing him of having engaged in criminal sex acts with adolescents.

Assuming this is true, topping that the US practically wants Assange’s head on a platter, does not pass the sniff test.
