And all the while Julian Assange walks around doing public interviews, and having a good ol time. What do you think would happen to you if you had released even a minorly classified government document? I dont trust wikileaks as far as i could throw em. The government shows us daily that they can and will silence people, but the one man walking around throwing the supposedly most secure and dangerous data in the history of the US government around like its no big deal gets away scott free... Tell me that makes sense.
    You should look into the term whistleblower. People are giving Assange and wikileaks the information anonymously. The system Assange has set up is solid and 100% legal. They have at least one person representing wikileaks in almost every major country to avoid breaking international law. THIS IS WHY WIKILEAKS IS DANGEROUS.

    For example, a PFC in the US Army (he was an analyst) stole some info from a secure network while overseas. He submitted a video of an Apache killing 12 people, two of which are rumored to be Reuters reporters. He got caught because he bragged to a hacker friend who felt it necessary to turn the kid in to the US gov.
    Now the PFC is looking at 50 years +.

    edit: also this guy does NOT have what would be considered "the most secure and dangerous data in the history of the US." It's war logs. Who/where/what was killed/shot/injured. Most classified information that is 'dangerous' to the US is compartmentalized to the point where one document makes no sense without other corresponding documents. This is also why there are different levels of classified information.
