But I don't think that law applies to Assange.

Our government needs to figure out how Assange got his information. Because until they do, they have no one to blame but themselves. And if someone from overseas hacked our computer communications methods whatever they may be, that is our own fault also.

The folks like Lieberman and Feinstein who are supposed to be watching our security are angry because they know that sooner or later people will start blaming them and others in the government beginning, apparently, in the Bush era.

Assange did not do anything that other journalists wouldn't do -- at least as far as we know at this point. He has no obligation to keep our secrets. He is not an American citizen, much less someone entrusted with the diplomatic communications.

These communications were apparently disseminated too widely. There are bound to be a few disgruntled employees in there somewhere. And the scope of information that our government classifies is just mind-boggling. A little discernment, a little discretion would go a long way.
