I‘m no defender of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. In fact I agree with Senator Dianne Feinstein who wrote that Assange should be prosecuted under the Espionage Act of 1917. However, I do find it quite bizarre that Assange was the subject of an international manhunt on the charge of condom misuse. It’s as if a warrant for the arrest of John Wilkes Booth was issued on the charge that he jaywalked when leaving Ford’s Theater.
Suddenly it seems that condom misuse as become classified as a crime so hideous that international warrants can be issued for the arrest of the suspected perpetrators. So how did Julian Assange end up arrested on the condom misuse charge? One problem for Assange is that he apparently wooed the wrong woman. Here is how she is described by Britain’s Daily Mail:
