I don't rightly remember all my sources. Mainly news places, Shakesville and Hoyden. And a few other links from those sources in news round-ups.
It's funny, you know, I mean, I totally support Wikileaks and think it's a really important foundation. I think the threatening the lives of Assange and those on staff is not okay, and I'm very cynical about them jumping on the rape bandwagon just to get their hands on Assange. It's frustrating and insulting for those who weren't raped by a wanted man.
That said, clearly, if Assange DID rape those women (and the statistics on this sort of thing are in favour of the women accusing him) then the best thing is for him to face justice.
Some people don't realise you can believe all those things simultaneously.
