#1 Assange is proud of you, Bradley. You made him famous.
Enjoy Leavenworth. See ya in about a hundred years.

#2 I do hope they throw the book at him. Maybe the penalty's changed, but I believe it used to be 10 years and/or $10,000 fine for each offense.

10 years x 92,000 documents = 920,000 years by my count.

#4 Is this not treason?

That, and accessory to murder for each and every victim associated with the informants whose identities were revealed.

He needs to be sentenced to life in the barrel at a supermax prison. He probably wouldn't need to be fed the whole time he was there, which would save us some money.

He's probably got file fragments all over his computer and maybe in the shadow files, too.

WikiLeaks says it has at least 15,000 more Afghanistan documents the group withheld until some details could be redacted.

If they must release the "redacted" files, which will probably still hold the names of informants unless done properly, then they could at least have a major news organization comb through them and make sure they are cleaned up before being released. Even if redacted properly, they will miss some names.

#5 Fort Leavenworth is way to nice for this Pfc. In this case, his new home will be ADX Florence.

Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got. Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.

Wouldn't you like to get away?

Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name,
and they're always glad you came.
You wanna be where you can see,
our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows
Your name.

Cheers.
