Assange To Be Indicted Under US Espionage Act

[Feeding the Abscess]

I'm not sure, and legal issues aren't the only ones I'm thinking of. If someone, press or not, knowingly told someone out to murder someone where they were hiding, for example, it might be free speech, but I don't think it could be condoned, morally.

That's not the situation here.

But what if they came out with a fact, like that Assange had approached and bribed the leaker to release the info? That would be different.

Daniel Ellsberg.

Created the problem using MK Ultra victim

Caused an uproar

Proposes the solution they wanted in the first place. The usual m.o.

Better yet, every "journalist" will have to be credentialed by the government. Annually.

For efficiency and synergy, we can have such licenses administered by the Department of Truth Transparency to ensure that information is censored redacted by the Department of Defense.

Welcome to Hell, folks. Its gonna get mighty bad around here if Assange is actually brought to the US and charged under The Espionage Act.

I don't mind him getting charged, but I do worry about him getting convicted. THe guy who released The Pentagon Papers wasn't acquitted. The case was dismissed because of prosecutorial misconduct, and an all around botched case by the government, who claimed they had lost evidence.

I am not sure the courts still have morals.

As Americans we better stand up for this guy if and when he gets here.

Welcome to the U.S.S.A.

Über Alles, baby.

It's astounding that there are still people out there who think that Osama hasn't already won. He was out to destroy America. He did. Game over.

 

[PeacePlan]

If they are going to prosecute him don't they also need to prosecute the people at the Washington Post and some other newspapers that released the stuff he gave them. If they don't it will sure look like they are just after him.

 

[tremendoustie]

This guy's a real canary in the coal mine as far as freedom of the press goes.

 

[PeacePlan]

What he should do is encrypt the entire 250,000 cables and put them up for download via torrent so a million people have them.

Let's not forget, he's still got a card up his sleeve and that is the key leak about BofA. And don't forget, trying and hanging Assange will not stop Wikileaks, this is simply government knee-jerk power trip reactionary nonsense.

I already downloaded that but my understanding is that is just a small portion and may have info on banking and such? If it is only partial he should make the entire cables into a torrent is what I am suggesting. But if the insurance is all of it I already have it?

Is there any way that the insurance file can be cracked in case something happens to him and we never get the key?

That's the whole shebang.

The fascists Dems have talked about that!

Meet The Man (and The Mustache) That Would Regulate Journalists in Michigan!

Patterson, reports FishBowl NY, wants to pass a law that

would require license applicants to possess, among other things: 1) "Good moral character"; 2) a degree in journalism; and 3) three writing samples. In our experience, those first two "qualifications" are in no way preconditions to quality reporting. The third may be necessary, but is by no means sufficient.

In any case, Patterson has said that the existence of a license would not preclude unlicensed writers from reporting the news; sounds like he's more interested in putting a state seal of approval on certain organizations/individuals instead. His bill is a response to certain instances of reporting in which the writer has demonstrated a lack of understanding of the issues at hand.

^ are they on record that it has BOA + the cables? BTW, experts say that file will never be opened without the key.

Daniel Ellsberg.

I don't get that reference. The media didn't bribe him, that I am aware of. I just don't jump to conclusions when I don't know the facts. I'll defend our first amendment and civil liberties, but I don't know enough to specifically defend Assange. However our government does appear to be reacting out of embarrassment and control issues, not out of true peril for our country. And objecting to THAT falls under protecting our first amendment and civil liberties.
