British Judge Again Upholds Arrest Warrant Against Julian Assange
-----------------------------------------------------------------

In London, a British judge has again upheld an arrest warrant for Wiki
Leaks founder Julian Assange. Assange's lawyers have been trying to
argue the British arrest warrant for jumping bail should be rescinded
because it is contrary to the public interest and because it's related
to a Swedish sexual assault investigation against Assange which has
since been dropped. Tuesday's ruling comes after, one week ago, the same
British judge, Emma Arbuthnot, ruled for the first time not to drop
Assange's arrest warrant.
