I never heard of an international law against espionage that could be used to indict Assange, a non US citizen, non US resident whose acts didn't take place on US soil.
LOL!
If any contact was mad between Assange and Manning prior to Manning dumping his files on wikileaks, they will be sharing a cell together for the rest of their lives.
Picture George Bush characterized as Alfred E. Newman on the cover of Mad Magazine. That's is where our country had gone to.
Leave the reporter's like Julian Assange alone and go after the real terrorist who sit in Pakistan laughing at our self destruction of destroying and rebuilding of a country that did nothing to us.
Our President's and General's are going mad or the CIA has spiked their drinks.

As is evident, merely being in unauthorized possession of classified national security documents that could be used to harm this country and publishing those documents constitutes a felony.
There's no exception for albinos with webpages -- or "journalists."
I'll answer that. Iraq nor Afghanastan did nothing to us.
Just because the small band of Bin Ladin had a single isolated camp in Afghanastan does not mean the country of Afghanastan attacked us. To the contrary the terroist are not of any country, but of individual's that live on the fringe of every country of the world. Yet Bush invades innocent country's based on the delusions of the recovering drunks mind.
This woud;l mean that anyone with a copy of the Pentagon Papers on their bookshelf should be in jail for 10 years. Or, what about AIPAC receiving classified info ?

Isn't bail inherently conditional? Is there such a thing as un-conditional bail?
LOL!
Notice how the Obama followers are declaring Assange as their leader now.
Interesting............
c'est une bonne nouvelle, il ya une justice au pays de sa majest?.
cela dit, julian assange est trait? comme un criminel, cela est malheureux et inacceptable.
il faut esp?rer que la su?de et les USA, cessent de le pers?cuter.
la justice am?ricaine refuse d' admettre qu'il s'agit d'une trahison,
et continue de focaliser sur assange
le jeune soldat qui a transmis ou vendu les informations a wikileaks, n'est qu'un maillon de la chaine.
********************************************************************
this is good news, there is justice in the land of his majesty.
That said, Julian Assange is treated like a criminal, this is unfortunate and unacceptable.
It is hoped that Sweden and the USA, stop persecuting him.
U.S. court refuses to admit that it is a betrayal
and continues to focus on Assange
the young soldier who has passed or sold the information to Wikileaks, is one link in the chain. au revoir.
