>> How can you prosecute an Australian for “treason” against the United States? <<

Obviously, you don’t.

But if AG Holder were doing his job, rather than going off to Geneva for the World Cup negotiations, there would seem to be number plausible of alternatives:

1. Indict and arrest Assange for:
a. receiving stolen property
b. illegally intercepting telecommunications
c. divulging the contents of telecommunications
d. espionage against the United States
e. revealing US intelligence sources and methods
e. subborning any of the above
f. conspiring to commit any of the above
f. assorted other felonies and middemeanors

2. Put him on the terrorist list, catch him, and send him to GITMO

3. Have Congress declare (and/or have the TOTUS certify) that WikiLeads has committed an act war against the USA, then order the Pentagon to proceed according to the laws of war.

4. Have the CIA contract with the MOSSAD for termination with extreme prejudic.
