Nu anklagas Karl Rove fà ¶r att ligga bakom den svenska regeringens kampanj fà ¶r att fà ¥ Wikileaks grundare och chefredaktà ¶r, Julian Assange, utlà ¤mnad hit. I syfte att dà ¤refter utlà ¤mna honom till USA - dà ¤r ett spionà ¥tal hotar Assange.

The American journalist Roger Shuler, who blogs on the popular and prestigious Legal Schnauzer, writes that a reliable source says that Rove will help the government Reinfeldt case Assange.

What was my first thought upon seeing a reference to my little Alabama-based blog in a Swedish publication? Well, as a long-time fan of tennis and pop music, I immediately thought, "Geez, I wonder if Bjorn Borg or one of the chicks in ABBA will read this."

I live in Birmingham, Alabama, and work in higher education. I became interested in justice-related issues after experiencing gross judicial corruption in Alabama state courts. This corruption has a strong political component. The corrupt judges are (more...)
