By KARL RITTER

<snip>

STOCKHOLM (AP) -- Swedish prosecutors have withdrawn an arrest warrant for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, saying the rape suspicions against him are unfounded.

In a brief statement Saturday, chief prosecutor Eva Finne says: "I don't think there is reason to suspect that he has committed rape."

5. Unfortunately, the withdrawal won't matter
to the MSM -- they'll still say Assange is wanted on rape. Remember Ray "which office do I go to to get my reputation back" Donovan?
