From ABC News:
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, the man behind the publication of more than a 250,000 classified U.S. diplomatic cables, could soon be facing spying charges in the U.S. related to the Espionage Act, Assange’s lawyer said today…
It is strange that someone would be indicted for failure to use a condom…but, then again, in the world of liberalism, they might have made that a crime. For me, though, what is central here is that Assange illegally obtained secret US documents and then used them to jeopardize US national security – he’s a spy; he should feel lucky, if we get our hands on him, that he only gets sentenced to life in prison (and Manning should thank his lucky stars if we decide not to shoot him as a traitor).
Failure to indict Assange as a spy would be a gross failure on the part of the Obama Administration – so, the ball is in their court. It is sad, though, that it took the release of information damaging to Obama before the Administration started to take this seriously. But all can be repaired – if the spy and the traitor are brought to justice.
