And now the US Government has dusted off "Espionage Act" Laws [over a Hundred Years Old] to Charge him. The Espionage Act was written to force Americans to go Fight in World War One. At that time most Americans did not want to go all the way over to EUROPE to fight in SOMEONE ELSE'S WAR... Most Americans lived on Farms and Young Men were needed to do work and harvest the crops. No time or enthusiasm to go Halfway around the world to die.
Why do American Laws Apply to Julian Assange at all? Wikileaks started in ICELAND and has Offices in Sweden... SO... How do USA Laws Apply? FREE JULIAN ASSANGE... FREEDOM OF THE PRESS IS IMPORTANT.
