I think they are holding him without bail to keep him alive.

There is one very SERIOUS problem with this article.

First Amendment rights apply only to Americans while in/on American sovereign territory. It applies no where else in the world.

Like most lawyers and liberals (is there a true difference between the two any more?) the author thinks that the freedom of speech is an international right. He fails to realize that there are millions of graves around the world and through out history marking the end of people who thought the same thing he does.

Unfortunately, we seem to protect fools like him.

I understand that our Constitution applies only to Americans. That doesn’t stop the fundamental ideas in it from being pushed elsewhere in the world. I am pointing out the two main arguments being pushed.

This Assange appears to be working for/protecting Obama. Look at his targeted attacks on Hillary and Sarah Palin, for example. There is a lot more to this story than appears at first. I am waiting for more information to come out. Meanwhile his “arrest” is under extremely odd circumstances and he is being held by folks whom Obama has gone out of his way to insult — the Brits!!! It seems they hold the prize. Look deeper!!!!

A rape charge in .... Sweden?

Sweden and Norway are the rape capitals of the world with Muslim immigrant jihadists dragging their fair young damsels into the bushes at regular intervals ... about which the "authorities" are doing largely nothing.

The agents who facilitate the delivery of material stolen or found by spies are as guilty as the spies. Usually, these spy handlers or couriers deliver the information discretely to the enemy.

The fact that these were released publicly for personal gain does not make it any less a crime.

His threat to release, or actual release, of the information can be called a terrorist act IMO. Regardless he is aiding terrorists. I vote terrorist... send him on a sunny vacation to GITMO until his execution date.

The Constitution extends protection to everybody, but it restricts privileges to citizens and those legally resident. That's why citizens get to vote and funny little foreign guys who are not citizens have to carry greencards or visas.

On the other hand, the First Amendment does not extend much beyond the United States ~ maybe 30 feet into Canada ~ no doubt the customs people there are used to America's gabbiness so they ignore it, but you go to Calgary and say "Assange should be executed", you can be arrested, tried, convicted and sent to prison for a very long time.

Calgary, BTW, is pretty liberal compared to the rest of Canada, so don't even think out loud about killing anybody or anything. THEY DON'T LIKE THAT.

Assange is out there in a world where virtually everybody doesn't recognize his right to publish this stuff, or any stuff. Even if he were in the United States he can be punished for being part of an Espionage Ring.

Apparently Assange has friends in the US willing to carry his water despite the fact they can be executed as spies (after suitable trial of course).

I think the only question in any of this is about ESPIONAGE, not about free speech or free press.

Neither Assange nor any of his funny little friends owned the data they are publishing. It's not their stuff. It's mine. And I don't want them or anybody else not authorized reading it.

The state department personnel do whatever, whenever, where ever, they want.

Hey WikiLeaks! You’ll only be a “hero” when you show us the REALLY good stuff. bttt

Rush Limbaugh Wants Julian Assange To Find the Really Good Stuff
Glynnis MacNicol | Dec. 7, 2010, 10:05 AM | 440 |
http://www.businessinsider.com/rush-limbaugh-wants-julian-assange-to-find-obamas-birth-certificate-2010-12

If WikiLeaks TMZ ever becomes a reality maybe Rush could have his own segment. From yesterday’s radio show:

“Where are the WikiLeaks documents to prove 9/11 was inside job by George Bush and Dick Cheney? Let me ask you liberals, where are these cables?

“Where are the documents to prove Bush intentionally lied about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq in order to invade the country?

Where is the WikiLeaks document, the State Department cable, whatever, that [Karl] Rove leaked Valerie Plame’s name to the media?

Where’s all this good stuff? ...

“Where are the WikiLeaks cables proving that the CIA invented AIDS? Where is Obama’s birth certificate? Where’s the real good stuff?

And how about all the hundreds of other left-wing lies we’ve been hearing about for years?

[Is] WikiLeaks covering up for the United States?”

“He’s an anarchist scumbag.”

- Yes, but it is his actions and motives that matter here, not his ideology and this must be kept in mind.

Even Hermann Göring got a fair trial. Perhaps he didn't deserve it - as most of the victims of the Third Reich didn't get one - but it's just the way civilization works.

Even if other ways of practicing justice than lynching might seem mysterious.

I don't know what the big deal is.

If Madeline Albright knew how to use the internet, she wouldn't have had to leave secret documents lying around to disappear.

And her communist deputy wouldn't have had to trouble himself getting the conference room bugged.
