If Manning can be locked up without due process
Assange's legal team argue that there is a similar likelihood that the US would subsequently seek his extradition "and/or illegal rendition", "where there will be a real risk of him being detained at Guantánamo Bay or elsewhere".
"Indeed, if Mr Assange were rendered to the USA, without assurances that the death penalty would not be carried out, there is a real risk that he could be made subject to the death penalty. It is well known that prominent figures have implied, if not stated outright, that Mr Assange should be executed."

I see Assange is now using specific terminology to once again make the world feel sorry for him. This is evident by his invocation of being scared to go to the US because he doesnt want to go to Gitmo, and is afraid he will be charged with treason, and that he will be executed.

Funny enough he does fit the description of the Anti Christ.. A person who has a fololwing, great oratory style who will persuade the masses to follow him under the guise of freedom.

That is what the newpapers and news channels do, not Wikileaks. There sources are researched and referenced. It is a shame other media outlets dont followe suit...

ClearanceDepending on the level of classification there are different rules controlling the level of clearance needed to view such information, and how it must be stored, transmitted, and destroyed. Additionally, access is restricted on a "need to know" basis. Simply possessing a clearance does not automatically authorize the individual to view all material classified at that level or below that level. The individual must present a legitimate "need to know" in addition to the proper level of clearance.
[edit] Compartmented informationIn addition to the general risk-based classification levels above, often there are additional constraints on access, such as (in the U.S.) Special Intelligence (SI), which protects intelligence sources and methods, No Foreign dissemination (NOFORN), which restricts dissemination to U.S. nationals, and Originator Controlled dissemination (ORCON), which ensures that the originator can track possessors of the information. Documents in some compartments are marked with specific "code words" in addition to the classification level.

More important here is that the cables will continue to be released. Assange is simply a figurehead, someone for the mentally deficient US legal system to pin this on. So long as the information comes out that's really all that matters. I truly hope that the content and level of damage far outreaches what has currently been revealed. The US will get Assange at some point but it won't matter, not one damn bit and that's a good thing.

And for all those people who dont think revenge is the motivating factor should rethink that view, as the post here supports that theory.

Right...
Assange is a narcissistic person who also suffers from megalomania.
Now he is attempting to use the shooting in Arizona to gain support for his cause by jumping on the band wagon that inciting hate speech is what Sarah Palin and Huckabee are doing to him. This guy has no conceisnce or ethics, and will do whatever, and use whomever he can, to his own personal advantage.
This guy is manipulative and only cares about himself. He is attempting to place himself back in the spotlight by making these comments and accusations, at which point it will not matter what the media asks him, his answers will be using words like rendition, US, death, treason, Gitmo and any other links he can mkae in an effort to sway judges not to send him back to sweden, where he is accused of sexual misconduct.
For someone who demands people be held to standards and rule of law, he apparently does not feel the need to hold himself to that same standard.
The comparison you are looking for by the way is from the book Animal Farm:
All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.edit on 12-1-2011 by Xcathdra because: (no reason given)
You seem preoccupied or borderline obsessed with portraying Assange in ways that quite frankly do not matter. It's a distraction at best.

and as a messenger, he can be charged and tried in court, just as the jouranlist were for the pentagon papers incident.
He is the one who invoked Arizona, check out the assange wants to arrest palin and huckabee. The media release from his is posted there.
