The U.S. is way overreacting to this anyway. Just restrict the access to confidential information, so that a simple Army corporal can't leak 250,000 documents anymore.

All this talk about charging Assange with espionage/conspiracy and hunting WikiLeaks like terrorists is excessive hyperbole. Tongue

So what would be preferable for the US? Stay stubborn and not get to prosecute at all?

But it interferes with the national sovereignty of the United States! OMG! Tongue

(Which of course happens all the time in the increasingly interconnected world we live in. The United States probably does it more often with other countries than other countries with the United States.... interfering, I mean. The only way around it is going the North Korean route, I guess.)
