I wouldn't go that far. If you think about it the criminals would be the ones he received the information from. He's simply the messenger. Also, this "time of war" business is a whole load of B.S.. This Time in the history of the U.S. is sad, and starting to feel more like occupation than war. Personally I applaud the work of WikiLeaks. The info is mostly trumped up by the media as info not previously known, when it isnt that hard to find critical infrastructure points simply using the internet, for example. Perhaps this makes it easier, but it wasnt impossible before. We live in a "free" country where info is freely available, the whole notion that security through obscurity is security is exactly what the fear mongers want the public to believe. It's like saying "the terrorist will win." After every sentence, or after reading a fortune cookie (personally I prefer to say "in Bed" at the end of a fortune cookie reading). Now, on with decrypting the "insurance file"! I just hope it isn't a dud, and really is the "Thermonuclear device" it's been purported to be. We in the U.S. have been duped long enough... -----Original Message----- From: funsec-bounces () linuxbox org [mailto:funsec-bounces () linuxbox org] On Behalf Of michael.blanchard () emc com Sent: Tuesday, December 07, 2010 10:43 AM To: noloader () gmail com; funsec () linuxbox org Subject: Re: [funsec] WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange arrested on Swedish warrant Assange is a clear criminal during a time of war to the USA. He should be tried and prosecuted as a war criminal an a terrorist.... Back in the day, he'd be hung from the neck until dead.... We should do that... Michael P.

Since publication of the latest round of documents began last week, the pressure has mounted on Assange, who was being sought internationally on an Interpol warrant, and on WikiLeaks itself, which is in a global battle to keep its financial and distribution system intact." I find it interesting how quickly politicians turn to character assassinations in an attempt to discredit. I suppose its par for the course for a group, whose minds are *collectively* so lazy, that they will choose war rather than diplomacy (violence is an indication of a weak and lazy mind).
