43. OK, so Assange is not an American citizen. He is not subject to our laws.
What laws did he break that he is subject to? How could the US get him extradited. Sweden may be able to extradite him because there are allegations that he violated Swedish law on Swedish soil. He probably did not commit any crimes in this country. There is only a remote chance that he did. He seems to be too clever for that.

He is not some employee of the American government who sold American information to another government.

Somebody gave him this information. Somebody leaked the information to him.

This information could have come from anywhere, anyone.

It's perfectly possible that some foreign country gave this info to Assange -- although doubtful because it would seem that if a foreign government was getting this information, it probably would not provide this to anyone.
