Since this was a high profile case, she did that on Saturday. Saturday the chief prosecutor Finné says she had "more information" and therefore made another decision - which IS NOT UNCOMMON.

Second, they could have very easily declined to respond to the media question about Assange's identity--the SPA spokesperson did exactly that--refuse to respond--to several questions today during the al Jazeera interview. But instead of declining, they confirmed the identity and therefore enabled the media release--on a very serious charge that was so flimsy it was reversed in a matter of hours.Casual Observerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02592378674200164328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2409127754575724898.post-9718271126873518582010-08-22T19:39:51.472-06:002010-08-22T19:39:51.472-06:00You have an English version of the Swedish prosecu...You have an English version of the Swedish prosecuting authority's Q&A here: http://www.aklagare.se/In-English/ .<br /><br />There's a misconception here I fear: I cannot see why the prosecution authority should have withheld the name of Assange when interrogated by journalists - media published the name of Assange, not initially the prosecution authority.<br /><br />Btw, as a Swedish-speaking jurist I've translated part of the legal and media material in the Julian Assange rape charges - it's here: http://ibnkafkasobiterdicta.wordpress.com/2010/08/22/the-legal-twists-and-turns-of-the-rape-charges-against-julian-assange/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2409127754575724898.post-32763866597312052652010-08-22T18:30:20.841-06:002010-08-22T18:30:20.841-06:00Dude they just want to kill assange or put him beh...Dude they just want to kill assange or put him behind bars on a secluded island, torture him then get his servers codes and location to bomb em and shut down wikileaks, that`s how they always do, it`s common senseCamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17847154916116423503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2409127754575724898.post-53160265169827440322010-08-22T13:48:25.543-06:002010-08-22T13:48:25.543-06:00@Ergo, If it was me identifying and spreading thes...@Ergo, If it was me identifying and spreading these conspiracy theories I would claim that this whole thing was set up by Mr. Wikileaks himself. :) Who else is getting something out of this?

Now, however, it appears that Mr. Wikileaks is not willing to confirm whether or not he had sex and/or had anything to do with these two females in the first place. According to the article in Aftonbladet he doesn't want to confirm it as it is a private matter. Well, it is a private matter, but the circumstances are highly unusual, too.<br /><br />One doesn't need to be a nuclear scientist to note that this is the biggest event in Wikileaks history, and that a strategic player would be milking everything out of this.
