(CNN) -- U.S. authorities could be waiting for the right moment to grab WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, now the subject of an Interpol wanted-persons alert and a U.S. criminal investigation.
There could be a sealed arrest warrant to slap on him when he's caught in the appropriate country, CNN's senior legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin told CNN's American Morning on Wednesday
"When you look at statements from American officials, Hillary Rodham Clinton saying we're under attack..."

Gee, maybe you can take off your filters !
To deny ignorance . . . is to know.

Lets get it straight, Benedict was no traitor. He lived under, and served for the British crown, even after the uprising in the 13 colonies. He was a LOYALIST, not a traitor. On the contrary, George Washington, John Hancock, Adams, ect are all definitions of what a 'Traitor' is. They revolted against their crown, regardless of whether it was justifiable or not, treason none the less.

Benedict Arnold V (January 14, 1741 [O.S. January 3, 1740][1][2] – June 14, 1801) was a general during the American Revolutionary War. He began the war in the Continental Army but later defected to the British Army. While he was still a general on the American side, he obtained command of the fort at West Point, New York, and plotted unsuccessfully to surrender it to the British. After the plot was exposed in September 1780, he entered the British Army as a brigadier general.
Also, Julian is a citizen of Australia, he cannot be charged for treason if he is not a US citizen, and cannot be charged for espionage, because he received the documents from Manning, whom is in custody and is being tried.

Also, once the Declaration of Independence was signed, the aforementioned "George Washington, John Hancock, Adams, ect." were no longer subjects of His Majesty, by public declaration. Arnold, on the other hand, was the classic definition of a traitor, just as Manning and whomever leaked the current batch of classified material is.

And that does not have anything to do with the publishing of classified material. Give me one leaked document that shows good cause for the people of the United States to rise up against their government...
