timing

so let me get this straight:

(1) wikileaks publishes a bunch of classified documents that the pentagon doesn't want them to publish.

(2) the pentagon slams wikileaks when it announces its plan to post more classified documents.

(3) wikileaks founder julian assange is charge with rape in sweden and people speculate that assange may be the subject of an american-led smear campaign.

(4) wikileaks gives the pentagon some kind of access to the documents.

(5) sweden abruptly drops the rape accusation against assange.

was assange blackmailed?
