Ann Coulter

RE Ann Coulter
Classified information is valuable government property.

As a public service I have to mention Ann Coulter's recent column LIKE A CONDOM, THE FIRST AMENDMENT CAN'T ALWAYS PROTECT YOU.  In case you missed it.

I adore Ann because, during my 13 year love affair with her, she has always gone in with claws extended, and with but a single exception has always backed her assertions with facts, citations, and delivered them using impeccable logic and common sense.  Here she does what nobody else I've seen has done (which is not to say nobody has); she cuts Eric Holder's
Assange meat for him.

President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder will be getting around to WikiLeaks' proprietor, Assange, just as soon as they figure out which law the New Black Panthers might have violated by standing outside a polling place with billy clubs.

These legal eagles are either giving the press a lot of disinformation about the WikiLeaks investigation or they are a couple of Elmer Fudds who can't find their own butts without a map.

Since Holder apparently wasn't watching Fox News a few weeks ago, I'll repeat myself and save the taxpayers the cost of Holder's legal assistants having to pore through the federal criminal statutes starting with the A's.


Read on if the specifics of  18 U.S.C. 793(e) and 18 USC 641 are important to you, but they say that Assange "Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both."

Ahem.

He's an Australian living in England.

I'm sorry, but you don't get to apply US laws to foreign reporters. Holder's incompetence was in trying to get him jailed in the first place, instead of dealing with low military morale and leftards in the military.

If the English think they can charge him with endangering British troops, that is their business, not ours.

Kristopher beat me to it. You can nail his American co-horts but just like Iran can't have our gays hung because it's their law, we can't go to another country and tag someone with our laws.

We can, however, have the little fucker shot. And if we had a president with balls we would have...

We most certainly can charge and extradite him.

Seems to me, the barracks lawyer, that non US citizen Assange has no First Amendment or any other US Constitutional rights.
And that if Great Britain or any other country with which we have an extradition treaty wants to give him to us, we can damn sure try him under our laws once he is here. Suppose he had robbed $10 million from a bank in NYC and murdered a cop and some hostages in the process, then fled to Sweden? Surely he could be prosecuted here if we could extradite him. No different than stealing or posessing US government property and harming the national security of the US by distributing that property.
Prosecute him, imprison him, pour encourager les autres. If his deed proves to be patriotic by revealing criminalty, incompetence or treason on the part of State Department employees, and is aimed at just that and not wholesale revelation of State secrets, then the whistleblower statute will protect him.
Same for that PFC who stole the docs. He'd make a good bitch for somebody in Leavenworth.
