Hi Thanos, using the espionage act was mentioned in the link.
I have zero idea if/what Assange will be charged with.

I posted the article because of the ramifications that may come out of the wikileaks saga if espionage charges are followed.

I linked it because I thought the article was interesting.

The act was written during WWI, product of wartime hysteria and a national mentality that might not fly today. Panic following sabotage of the Black Tom munitions plant was part of the driving force.
