Re: Assange makes 1st public appearance in 2 months Where do they find these journalist who embellish stories like this?
quote:
THE US military has designated Julian Assange and WikiLeaks as enemies of the United States - the same legal category as the al-Qaeda terrorist network and the Taliban insurgency.
Show me a list on a .gov site that lists enemies of the state with Assange on it, go ahead I dare you to.
quote:
Declassified US Air Force counter-intelligence documents, released under US freedom-of-information laws, reveal that military personnel who contact WikiLeaks or WikiLeaks supporters may be at risk of being charged with "communicating with the enemy", a military crime that carries a maximum sentence of death.
Duh, your publishing classified documents on a public site, where anyone could read them, by definition, how does Wikileaks figure they get an exception?
quote:
The analyst's access to classified information was suspended. However, the investigators closed the case without laying charges. The analyst denied leaking information.
Clearance is a privilege, not a right and can be revoked at any time for any reason. Let see the documents were:
quote:
The documents, some originally classified "Secret/NoForn" - not releasable to non-US nationals
and this guy was
quote:
a cyber systems analyst based in Britain
sounds like someone figured out he had access to documents he wasn't cleared for and yanked his privileges. NOTE no charges were laid so the problem here would be, that they think he has ties to anti-US or anti-military groups, well duh again, must be a pretty crappy security analyst if he can't figure that one out. I read a 'Top Secret/NoForn' document that said he was having a physical relationship with an Iranian underage goat that he was slipping secrets too, go ahead prove me wrong.
quote:
US Vice-President Joe Biden labeled Mr Assange a "high-tech terrorist" in December 2010 and US congressional leaders have called for him to be charged with espionage.
And how are those charges coming along as its been almost 2 years since and, oh nothing. Like I said before the tin foil has been on for so long its gotten rather stinky under there, but if you wait long enough maybe something will happen, but let us know when that will be as I'm waiting for a Golden Frog to jump into my yard and sh*t diamonds all over the place. Right now its a race to see which will happen first.
quote:
Mr Ratner said that under US law it would most likely have been considered criminal for the US Air Force analyst to communicate classified material to journalists and publishers, but those journalists and publishers would not have been considered the enemy or prosecuted.
If those journalist aided or were otherwise involved in the crime of acquiring those documents, hell yes they would be prosecuted.
quote:
"However, in the FOI documents there is no allegation of any actual communication for publication that would aid an enemy of the United States such as al-Qaeda, nor are there allegations that WikiLeaks published such information," he said.
"Almost the entire set of documents is concerned with the analyst's communications with people close to and supporters of Julian Assange and WikiLeaks, with the worry that she would disclose classified documents to Julian Assange and WikiLeaks.
The document also didn't state that this journalist only writes part truths either, its a document with a topic, but I guess this journalist didn't include the stock price dip of Apple today, so I guess we are free to assume whatever we wish as being true based on his omission of this information in this article.
quote:
The Australian government has repeatedly denied knowledge of any US intention to charge Mr Assange or seek his extradition.
Maybe because there isn't any US intention to charge him or seek his extradition, that can't be.
quote:
The Australian diplomatic reports canvassed the possibility that the US may eventually seek Mr Assange's extradition on conspiracy or information-theft-related offenses to avoid extradition problems arising from the nature of espionage as a political offense and the free-speech protections in the US constitution.
Really, I'm sure if they find a reason to, they will charge him and request extradition, but any idea when that might be happening as I think I hear a frog on my lawn, maybe its time to go and rake up some diamonds.

kudos:3 | That is the billion dollar question, given that the US hasn't laid charges etc, I'd say no, but is the investigation over, maybe not.
