Oh yeah, I understand, I'd like to hear from him on it too. I'm just basing my thoughts on what I've read. Since Assange portrays himself as a journalist and the government doesn't like to prosecute journalists for publishing what is leaked to them, I think it's unlikely they'll do much. Since they were American files leaked by an American to him, I don't know if other countries' laws would apply or not. *waits on MC*

My understanding is that it would be very difficult, but that USDOJ is looking into it carefully.

They do have them and they have posted them -- quite a few of them. They have heard from some inter/national HQs about it and received letters from lawyers on behalf of GLOs about it. But when I checked recently, they did not seem to be available anymore -- hence my hope that all these leaks of classified documents have them devoting their time and/or server space to other things.

How about we kidnap his sorry butt and throw him in Guantanamo for the time being? I know this is a knee jerk reaction but the poison pill threat has ticked me off.

Bradley Manning may be in a world of do do. He could be up on a treason charge and I wouldn't have a problem with them lining him up and shooting him if he is found guilty.
