How Stieg Larsson (and a leaky condom) screwed Wikileaks

I should start by stating that the facts have not been fully verified. But the brouhaha surrounding Wikileaks editor-in-chief Julian Assange looks very much like a turgid conspiracy invented by a (dead) Swedish thriller writer. And that conspiracy, paradoxically, benefits exactly the kind of corporate and governmental scumbags Stieg Larsson's fictional heroes fought.

You all know Wikileaks, the website on which were published thousands of leaked documents, mostly classified or restricted, detailing unsavoury aspects of how governments and big corps do business. The US was one of the principal subjects, and sources, of the leaks.
You probably also have heard by now that Assange, an Australian who has committed no crime via his site--it is not a crime to publish material restricted by someone else's government, the relevant statutes apply only to government employees who leak it--has gone to jail in Britain on charges brought in Sweden regarding alleged sexual misconduct.
Here's the twist: these are not criminal charges. In fact, if one looks at the facts, they are hardly accusations of anything. Apparently, in August, in Sweden, Assange had sex with a couple of very willing women, not at the same time. During those encounters, according to Reuters, a condom he was wearing broke. Or maybe fell off. During that time, he may or may not have decided to have sex without condoms.
Unilaterally not using condoms is an offense in Sweden. But neither woman brought that charge. In fact, initially at least, they just wanted him to get tested for HIV, to put their minds at rest. Assange agreed, but late. A prosecutor at the time decided there were no grounds for legal action.
A higher ranking female prosecutor, Marianne Ny, then got involved. Was she reacting to pressure from the EU foreign policy establishment, reacting in turn to pressure from the US? The US of course wants to extradict Assange, and try him for blowing the whistle on various Yankee skullduggeries.
Or did Ny see herself in the role of Lisbeth Salander, the vengeful, abused, proto-superhero who spends much time in Larsson's novels making misogynists pay for their crimes?
Or both?
The irony is, Larsson's novels are not only hell-for-leather epics of female revenge, they are also built on a strong core of distrust of government spooks and large corporations. If Larsson were alive today, he would in all probability applaud the secrets Wikileaks has revealed concerning the CIA, the US Defense Dept., and companies like Barclay's Bank or the security firm DynCorp.
I should point out that Wikileaks is not pure as the driven snow. Some of their leaks may well have endangered undercover operatives and contacts working for the US in places such as Iraq. A whistle-blower who kills people has blood on his hands. There are ways to leak info while giving time for the leakee to get operatives out of immediate danger.
I would also hate to have to defend Assange's sexual practices, which might well, according to scuttlebutt, be somewhat, um, unsavory.
That being said, we should all keep a close eye on what happens to Assange. Never mind the democratic window-dressing: We are all powerless in the face of the governmental and corporate establishments who run the world economy. And we don't have Kalle Blomkvist, Larsson's ace investigative reporter, to fight for us this time.
