So Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has been awarded bail (with restrictions) for his arrest for his alleged sexual abuse charges. However, the Swedish Court of Appeals plans to try to appeal against this ruling, effectively denying his grant of (about) $320,000 bail. Couple this with the fact that most of the allegations against him are complete BS (The women admit to the fact that the sex was indeed consensual) and I think we've got pretty good discussion fodder for a while.

How is he still being held if the women involved admit the sex was consensual?

Ah, sorry. I misread the article (the link is within the red text above) apparently only 1 of the accounts was actually consentual. Also, " according to 'the Guardian', Swedish prosecutors plan to launch an appeal against the court’s decision to grant Assange bail. They have two hours to file the appeal, which would be followed by a hearing within 48 hours. Assange would be held in custody throughout that process."
For what reason they could posibly have for attempting to over-rule his bail, I have no idea. But I'm quite sure it's somethin highly illogical (also known as being Sweedish). But I was interested to hear about the list of people who are putting up money to help clear his bail, including Michael Moore, and Jemima Khan.

Awesome! They tried this a month or so ago, and it was overturned the next day. And then they went and arrested him anyway.

I hold you in the highest regard, my friends.
