Dirty tricks starting against WikiLeaks' Assange?


From The Guardian. Note that this is two events, the original arrest warrant, and its cancellation 24 hours later:

Swedish authorities have withdrawn an arrest warrant for Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, stating that the accusation of rape against him was unfounded.

The move came just a day after a warrant was issued by Sweden's prosecutors' office in Stockholm in response to accusations of rape and molestation in two separate cases. . . .

Assange has denied both accusations, first reported by the Swedish tabloid Expressen, which were described as dirty tricks on the Wikileaks' Twitter account. [my emphasis]
