Punching Back at WikiLeaks by Howard Kurtz
The WikiLeaks scandal is continually escalating, but it seems for now Julian Assange is safe. The article explains a lot so you should definitely read it, but the main points I got from it are this:
Whatever the different Governments would like to do to Assange whether it be assassinate him, put him in jail, execute him, or have WikiLeaks shut down, they will not be able to because of our right to freedom of press. It is clearly going to be a hard case to argue. The author Howard Kurtz says, "...the Justice Department will be hard pressed to prosecute Assange without posing a chilling threat to press freedom." Meanwhile Assange "...dismissed the idea that he was jeopardizing lives as 'nonsense.'"
