He was wanted in Sweden for allegations of rape. He's wanted in the U.K. for jumping bail, and He's wanted by the U.S. for leaking classified info.

He had irritated too many people. He is at least consistent with the information he leaks and has pissed eveyone off. I have mixed feelings about him but I've Changed my tune a little. I don't like the classified leaks but the other stuff doesn't bother me. There is. I denying how powerful and influential he is.

IIRC the rape allegations surfaced after the US/UK warrants were issued, and to many the allegations seemed a bit contrived. Sweden was seen as caving to US/UK pressure to force an extridition to Sweden for trial, at which point he could be picked up by US/UK for 'questioning' re: Wikileaks.

UK warrant is because of the Rape bail jump.

US warrant was just filed recently.

If that's the case the UK warrant should go away right? I suppose they do still have a claim he jumped bail.

That they do, just like here. Even if proven innocent a bail jump is still an offense.
