Bob and Darin were on a panel together discussing banalities in generalities, as is the usual case. If either had said anything meaningful on the subject, the moderator would have cut him off. Bob didn’t know Darin. He was introduced as a former CIA official. Bob had heard back in those days when he was on the Congressional Budget Committee staff that Darin had once had a limited oversight position – budget Bob seemed to remember it was – over a black op CIA group. When the moderator closed the panel, the two looked at one another and raised their eyebrows. Bob took advantage of the eyebrow connection to suggest that they have a drink. To his surprise Darin agreed. Darin was remote and distant at first, but found the conversation to his liking as the two discussed the moderator’s skill in avoiding delicate issues. In an abrupt change of subject, Bob asked Darin if the US government would assassinate Julian Assange. "Yes," Darin replied. Bob followed up quickly with a question, which as he was asking it he realized he should not be asking: "Does the CIA have an in-house assassination group or does the agency contract it out?" Darin replied, "The CIA doesn’t need to physically assassinate Assange. Washington will use the PATRIOT Act to override the First Amendment and bring a spy case against him. Currently, the British are going through their pretense that they have a rule of law, but if in the end law doesn’t require that the Brits extradite Assange to Sweden, whose government will sell him to Washington, Washington will bring an extradition case based on charges that are being concocted in a grand jury in Alexandria, Virginia." Bob asked, "You mean Assange will be tried and condemned to death?" "Possibly," Darin replied, " but Washington might be content with discrediting him. Washington would try him in Alexandria, Virginia, which has a high density of military contractors. If Washington concludes that the jury wouldn’t convict Assange, Assange will be ‘suicided’ in prison." "Is there anywhere Assange can go to escape the frame-up?" There is nowhere he can go. If he were to go to Cuba, Washington would offer an end to the embargo in exchange for Assange. If he went to Venezuela, Washington would offer to call off its assault on the Chavez regime in exchange for Assange. He couldn’t go to China or Russia, because they don’t want their own secrets revealed. If he were to go to Iran, it would be used to confirm the charge that he is a spy." "Why is Washington so obsessed with Assange?" "It is power taking its revenge. Assange has made government transparency a moral issue and made people aware that classification and secrecy serve to hide government crimes and deception. This has empowered whistleblowers." "Won’t there be other whistleblowers?" Not without WikiLeaks. Formerly, whistleblowers would release documents to the media. However, whistleblowers have learned that the law that was enacted to protect them is not obeyed in the post-9/11 environment, and the media has learned that the First Amendment has lost much of its authority. It has become too dangerous for whistleblowers to step forward. Moreover, whistleblowers have learned that even the New York Times first checks with the government before the paper prints a leak. Remember, the Times sat for one year on the leak from NSA that the Bush administration was violating the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and spying on Americans without obtaining warrants from the FISA court. The Times published only after Bush was reelected. WikiLeaks is the only way whistleblowers can get the word out." "You mean if the government convicts Assange it is the end of WikiLeaks?" "Yes. If Assange is convicted of spying, then ipso facto a successor would be a spy. The ability of whistleblowers to bring accountability to government is about to disappear."

Assange is NOT an AMERICAN CITIZEN and does not reside in the USA or territories. So Assange HAS NO CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. He certainly has no first amendment rights. Assange can certainly be guilty of espionage without being an American citizen, but he canNOT be accused of treason. At least not by the USA. The time to quietly and with plausible deniability to KILL him was before he leaked all of that stuff. Kind of useless to do it now. Except as a SERIOUS object lesson to those of his ilk. As usual, the feral gooberment is incompetent. Yes, I do support KILLING him. He has KILLED many people by what he has done. Their deaths are what he must pay for imo.
Spoiled, stupid and ignorant, brain dead phuckwads, libTURD fools, tools, and idiots, are the real sickness; the messiah "king" obammy and his regime are only the symptoms.
Really? HOW? By WHAT justification?

ESAD. HOW? By WHAT justification? . Eric TRY to get a grip, when you SPY or ACT in a WAY to destroy the USA, (or another country), no matter where you are from, it's "espionage". THIS is called "English" eric. --------------------------- "espionage es·pi·o·nage noun Èes-p-Y-Ìnäzh, -Ìnäj, -nij, Canada also -Ìnazh; Ìes-p-Y-Ènäzh; is-Èp-Y-nij Definition of ESPIONAGE : the practice of spying or using spies to obtain information about the plans and activities especially of a foreign government or a competing company Examples of ESPIONAGE He was charged with several counts of espionage. Origin of ESPIONAGE French espionnage, from Middle French, from espionner to spy, from espion spy, from Old Italian spione, from spia, of Germanic origin; akin to Old High German spehMn to spy — more at spy First Known Use: 1793" www.merriam- http://webster.com/dictionary/espionage --------------------------- This is a surprise to you? Want to TRY to cuss out the DICTIONARY companies over this out of your IGNORANCE of basic ENGLISH?? Have at it. And YES Eric, Assange KILLED people by doing what he did. So YES Eric, I support KILLING him, in a public and terrible way as an object lesson to those who would emulate him. Yes Eric, I'm serious. Assange KILLED by his actions, and so he is guilty of MURDER and ESPIONAGE. His neck needs stretching.
Spoiled, stupid and ignorant, brain dead phuckwads, libTURD fools, tools, and idiots, are the real sickness; the messiah "king" obammy and his regime are only the symptoms.
By the definition you posted, he is not guilty of espionage. You're way off-base on this. Hell, by your definition, if Assange were found guilty of this (using the extreme stretch of logic you're applying), everyone in the media actually did their jobs instead of being bootlickers, they'd easily be guilty, too.

ESAD. It's NOT "my" definition, what I posted is DIRECT FROM THE MERRIAN-WEBSTER DICTIONARY. WE call it "English". IF you have a problem with the accurate meanings of English words, then YOU have a serious problem that I cannot help you with. Assange exposed SECRET and TOP SECRET documents with the EXPRESSED purpose of HURTING the USA and our allies. Assange's actions resulted in the DEATHS, imprisionment, torture, and overall exposure of many US intelligence assets, and of their FAMILIES. This isn't some fucking game. PEOPLE FUCKING DIED because of HIS actions. PEOPLE ARE FUCKING DYING NOW because of his actions. He and all who helped him are guilty of ESPIONAGE and MURDER. ESPIONAGE and MURDER in the quest to HURT the USA. He rates the rope. So ... NO Eric, you aren't even in the same zip code as THIS ball park is in. There is no "extreme logic" here at all. ANYBODY who does what he did, for the reasons that he did it, is guilty of ESPIONAGE and MURDER. You see Eric, when "spies"/"assets" are made PUBLIC, those who we are fighting against KILL them. THIS is the way ESPIONAGE has ALWAYS been punished in western culture and the USA. Until, of course, the Vietnam era, when, INFAMOUSLY Daniel Ellsberg KILLED people with his TREASON, but the libTURD politics covered his treason. Because the BIGGER TRAITORS such as the Cape Cod Orca and John F ing Kerry used and protected him. Mainly because he promoted their anti-American agenda. It WAS afterall the season for TREASON. Yep Eric, ANYBODY who causes the DEATH of US intelligence assets should be EXECUTED. You see Eric, I had FAMILY who were put at risk by these TRAITORS. YOU may think that you HATE the intelligence community because it is "black", as it must be. But their entire goal is PROTECT dumb fucks like YOU, and they risk their LIVES every fucking day to do it. They don't make policy. The least that this country could do would be to make sure that it protects their backs. Now go piss and moan about some Polly Annish crap. The world is the way it is, and HUMAN SPIES are REQUIRED for a nation to SURVIVE. Don't act like such an arrogant whiny little libTURDISH child. What should the punishment for ESPIONAGE and MURDER be Eric? The comfy chair? Pitiful

PEOPLE ARE FUCKING DYING NOW because of his actions. Transparent hyperbole. I never thought I'd see the day where you'd revert to jingoism to defend yourself. Disappointing. In effect, you defend the government, even when they commit crimes and atrocities. I expected better from you. Pity. Bozoed.

I assure you, there is ABSOLUTELY ZERO HYPERBOLE in my statements. let alone any "transparent hyperbole". You Polly Annish twit. THIS ISN'T SOME FUCKING GAME. REAL PEOPLE'S LIVES ARE ON THE LINE. Not to mention how CUNTISH and STOOOPID it is of YOU to even TRY equating supporting OUR intelligence people with "jingoism". I DEFEND with MY LIFE all of the PEOPLE who DO the actual intelligence work you arrogant Polly Annish CUNT. NOT those who set policy. I bet that you CLAIM to support OUR troops but NOT their mission too eh you simpering CUNT? MY FAMILY was in "the biz" you gibbering little CUNT. When MY FATHER got out of the company in the early SIXTIES, only two others of his plank owner class of TWENTY were still ALIVE and THEY were doing LIFE in COMMUNIST CHINA. So yeah, you miserable little Polly Annish CUNT, I take ALL of THIS really seriously. Because I, unlike YOU FOOL, I actually KNOW what I'm talking about. NEVER once EVER have I or would I defend any gooberments CRIMES or atrocities. But of course even you know that TRUTH about me inside, and so now you stomp your wittle footsies and run away in a huff. We've had our disagreements before, and likely will again. The problem with people like you Eric is that you turds don't even want to know what it COSTS every FUCKING day in BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS to defend your illusion of security. You call any sort of REALITY "hyperbole", because Eric you are too much of a CUNT to even want to know the hard TRUTH about the true HUMAN costs of THEIR SACRIFICES that allows you and me to call each other names on the web. I never figured you for a complete COWARD and little bitch. I guess that libTURDISM is contagious? YOU are truly PITIFUL. PITIFUL

Assange can certainly be guilty of espionage without being an American citizen.
