I swear, if given half an opportunity I would bludgeon the skull of anyone saying that Assange violated the Espionage Act. The man was never on U.S. soil - a rather essential element in committing an offense under U.S. law. Our criminal justice system does not legitimately exceed our territorial control. Team America indeed - fuck yeah!

Who wasn't tried under U.S. law, but was dealt with as an enemy combatant.

Fair point. If Assange reveals the names of CIA agents in the field, can we deal with him as an enemy combatant?

Assange released internal documents about massive immoral and illegal acts by the military, their own records.
