I think what bothers me most in this situation is that Eric Holder (the U.S. Attorney General) and various senators acknowledge that Assange broke no laws - because he did not steal the secrets himself - but want to pass new laws and make them retroactive, specifically so that Assange may be guilty of criminal espionage.
Of all the fascist moves since 9/11 - many of which Obama said he would reverse, but has NOT - this has got to be the most Stalinesque.
(Is Godwin triggered if I invoke Stalin?)
Anyway, Assange is under arrest for - get this: sexual assault by virtue of CONSENSUAL sex without a condom - and he is likely going to be extradited from the U.K. to Sweden to face these absurd charges, and then will be gulaged by the U.S.A. once they pass laws in order to find him guilty of them.
