American officials confirmed last month that the Justice Department was weighing a range of criminal charges against Assange and others as a result of the massive leaking of classified U.S. military reports from the war in Afghanistan, including potential violations of the Espionage Act by Bradley Manning, the Army intelligence analyst in Iraq accused of providing the documents to WikiLeaks.

Even that is not enough so the US government is asking other governments to crackdown on Wikileaks and Assange.

Now, the officials say, they want other foreign governments to consider the same sorts of criminal charges.

This was somewhat expected. But the real question is would other countries play ball with US government?
