re: #14 Floral Giraffe

I think how this all plays out, in the end, will be interesting.
I also agree with SpaceJesus, statement…

My knowledge on wikileaks is from Aussie Newspapers, LGF and links from LGF.

As I have stated before I haven’t come to any position on wikileaks.

I want to know more about the Manning/Assange relationship.
But somehow without a trial I don’t think were going to get that.
I clearly see why people have moral and ethical concerns about the leaks, not just Americans, its brought out some very embarrassing things that may effect Australia’s relationships and many other countries.

My interest is what will happen from the legal side.
Hence I discuss it without the interest in the moral or ethical side.

Manning clearly broke the law.
Assange, remains to be seen, I suspect the US may come up with chargers, it will be interesting to see how that plays out.
If the US can show he is not a jouralist they may get somewhere.
If they can’t then there may be ramifications down the line, collateral damage if you will.
NYT and the rest: If the US can’t prove Assange is not a journo, then there could be issues here.
