WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's accuser has ties to Cuban dissidents

The bizarre saga of WikiLeaks yielded an arrest and yet another unexpected wrinkle on Tuesday: One of the Swedish women who has accused WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange of sex crimes was revealed to be a supporter of Cuban dissidents.

Anna Ardin's links to Cuba were posted on several websites Tuesday after Assange surrendered in London to answer a warrant issued for his arrest by Sweden. He is wanted for questioning after Ardin and another woman accused him of having sex with them without a condom and without their consent.

And in yet another Cuba-related development Tuesday, a U.S. diplomatic cable made public reported that Brazilian officials had said that country's investment in expanding the Cuban port of Mariel was based ``on the assumption that Cuba and the United States will eventually develop a trading relationship'' after the U.S. embargo is lifted.

These revelations came as Assange, 39, appeared in a London court Tuesday for a hearing on the extradition request. He denied the sex-crime allegations, declared he would fight extradition and was sent to jail to await a Dec. 14 hearing.

3. The Logical Conclusion

The smell of fear....from the bad guys. Makes you wonder what they are afraid will be revealed. Given all that we know about them, it must be hard evidence of gross criminality that cannot be ignored by "looking forward".

2. Let me guess - "Miss B" ?

From the story of their meeting, she had CIA written all over her.

7. The women knew each other before; here is link to Sweden lecture video with both women

Here is a link to the video of the lecture he gave in Sweden. Ardin invited Assange and slept with him first.
The second woman is the woman in pink in the front row. Ardin is one of the other blond women and you need to watch because I do not a time and specific youtube.

There are some interesting articles about the CIA angle, sex crime allegations, and more on Ardin at CounterPunch. My take on CounterPunch is that you have to take the opinions one's individual writers to one's own taste (there is a mix of left, anarchist, international worker, and libertarian)but reality is that unaffiliated in-country reporting and much journalism experience is to be found at CounterPunch. I did not save the link it is here at DU or readily searchingly.

Aside: I wish there was a published list of nono sites and minds at DU, but in my time at DU CounterPunch seems grey area and that is IMO appropriate.

8. *crickets*

I just love it when someone desperately tries to push a one-line meme (which is a lie, of course), to be countered with a detailed, and damning, rebuttal. It's like they've gagged on their own tongue for 20 minutes (and counting).
