I would humbly suggest that this particularly "freedom of speech" has a specific law against it - it is called Treason: "The betrayal of one's own country by waging war against it or by consciously or purposely acting to aid its enemies".

This information harms our foreign policy and war effort, aids our enemies and could lead to personnel being killed. Similar to any law that prohibits a "free speech" (i.e. yelling 'Fire' in a crowded movie theatre) that endangers lives. Granted, this applies more to Bradley Manning than Assange.

" . . This information harms our foreign policy and war effort

Yeah, thats kinda why I'm for it. War? what war? Don't even get me started on this "war" business because back in March of 2003 a freaking Delta team could have grabbed that son of a bitch and saved us trillions of dollars in cash and unknown trillions in goodwill. War? what war.

Foreign policy? - Breaking news . . the current US foreign policy consists of agreements made by the elite to accomplish primarily 2 objectives -

1. Create permanent alliances with foreigners

2. Speedrush the transition from the National Security State to the Global Security State.

Expose away, Assange!

It wasn’t the Founders who ruled against yelling “Fire” in a crowded theater. It was Oliver Wendell Holmes of “three generations of imbeciles” fame.
