The incidents *supposedly* occurred in August. But the women in question didn't turn up at the police station until a week after he released his first batch of Iraq War leaks. I'm sure the timing was just a coincidence, of course.
OR, they thought they could cash in on his new found fame in the media. People have been doing it for years/generations in the United States. The Swedes just caught on and picked this one up before any American girls did.
Except that for the most part science is "controlled" by a self-selected elite. Not too much evidence of a difference between that an other human hierarchies where the folk at the top dominate everything whether they are in the right or the wrong. If you don't think one of their theories is correct good luck to you in getting anything together to challenge it, unless you have access to a powerful rival to support you.
Unless you're independently wealthy/resourced then you don't get to do what isn't "approved" and even that has its problems as if you're outside the circled wagons you won't be treated seriously, even if you are right!
Except that it's not. Science isn't some book that can't be questioned. It, mostly, changes with time. Usually, if a theory is wrong, someone will eventually refine it, but it takes time, effort, and a willingness to defend your hypothesis with more than just name calling. It also requires an education. In many cases, to be accepted in a particular field of study one must have axially studied it. This is not always the case, but the two have a strong correlation.
