Wikileaks...

You hit the nail on the head with Illegally downloaded.
The government has the power to take down websites where illegally downloaded stuff is being made accessible. That should be everyones clue that this is horse shit. Our government is concerned with people downloading music and movies and shutting down those sites, but when it comes to Alleged "classified documents" being broadcast all of sudden their power to do something about it is nonexistent, go figure.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....the websites are in other countries dude.

He knowingly took secret information that was ILLEGALLY downloaded and burned to CD by PFC Faggot.

if some random guy were to walk up to you on the street and just told you the launch code to one of our nuclear missiles, would you consider yourself guilty of espionage?

No but then again I wouldnt put it on the god damned internet for all the world to see either!

HA! Just like Assange is guilty of espionage. You don't have to be a citizen for that.

to be guilty of espionage you have to obtain the information illegally. the information was given to him with out him asking for it.

Nu-uh!

It's all bullshit propaganda. All of the "leaks" just support the agenda of more wars and that Israel is right in everything they say and do. It's horse shit. The powers that be would have stomped this crap out before you ever heard of it If it was really a credible threat to anything/anyone.

if my car was stolen by an illegal then that would be braking the law of course we can charge him.

That looks like a buck passing answer if I ever saw one! "Your car was stolen by an illegal alien, since we can't charge him, it's kinda like it never happened.."

There are world wide implications for what Assange did that could potentially affect us all.

EVERY link involved in the dissimination of harmful information should be held accountable. But, the US is still ran by a bunch of pussy-ass pushover Libs that won't do shit.

Oh shit... it's our bleeding heart Liberal again.

When his actions can pose as a potential threat to our current missions and possibly putting US troops and agents in harms way, he gets what's coming.

he not an american, he is not on our side, so why should he be expected to keep our secrets?

one of our guys stole the info and gave it to him, what was he suppose to do with it. most spy's would sell that information, or try to extort the US with that information, he gave it away.

and why is no one upset at the New York Times? they have an exclusive deal in place witch allows them to publish wikileaks in their paper. the new york times is an american business under our protection, yet they published the material as well.

Julian Assange is not an american, he is not doing this in america, so in no way should he be subjected to our laws. he simply provides a platform where anyone can post anything they want. he does not steel this information or hire people to do so, he is just a publisher.

however the guy who stole the information and released it did commit a crime.
