What are the charges in the US against Assange again? Exactly my thought.
I'm amazed at how many people want Assange to be prosecuted, hung, shot, kidnapped, etc. without even specifying the US law that he is allegedly violating.
Another thing to consider: the Espionage Act has only been successfully used to prosecute an "original" act of espionage. The one attempt to prosecute someone for distributing the results of someone else's espionage, did not succeed.

Good points. We have known the exact content given to Wikileaks.......a year ago. There has been plenty of time for our Democrat Congress and Democrat President to pass a law that would in some way offer a future criminal charge.
They did nothing.
There is currently no charges available for the publisher of sensitive facts.
