I don’t get all the talk of “legalities” when it comes to this douche. There is only one way to properly deal with scum like this, and it doesn’t involve one single lawyer.
Do you really think the problem is Assange?
If he can get all this stuff and put it on the net, then any part of it of real value could be obtained by a determined foe.
Mostly, it’s just an embarassment and proves how fouled up American foreign policy is. Which I thought anyway.
