#2 Mr. Assange should fear US charges.

DOJ lawyers are trying to get Private Manning to roll over on Assange for conspiracy charges, the easiest charges to prove and the hardest to defend against.

Should Manning go along not only will Assange goes down, so does his whole crew. Then the flood gates could potentially open for even more to be charged.

#3 Before we charge Asshat our 'leaders' are going to want to be sure he doesn't have (or won't get) any dirt on them. And I don't think many of them WILL be sure. Could make entertaining theatre - bring it on.

#4 We would have to get our hands on Assange, which I rather doubt will happen (unless the CIA has gotten a LOT better these last few months). The Brits will hand him over to the Swedes and the Swedes will hand him to no one.

And I rather like the following idea: we look Mr. Manning in the eye and say, "Son, we're not making a deal with you. We don't care what else you did, what other documents you stole, and who you passed them to. The damage is done. We have enough on you to have you convicted and executed for treason, and that's just what we're going to do. Have a nice day."

I get a little tired of cops, prosecutors and judges making deals with scum. I know, I know, sometimes it's necessary, but there are times we should just say, in essence, you did the crime, now you do the time. In Manning's case it should lead straight to a pine box.

#6 We should be focusing on Assange. He is a media whore and the more you feed him the more he will grow. DO NOT give Pvt Manning a deal. March his ass to the gallows and the sooner the better. We have to stop the NEXT leak not focus on the one already out.

#10 :-) Considering the source - thanks for the compliment

#11 Manning and Assange should try to get in touch with Sandy ~~Burglar~~ Berger.

He got away with a slap on the wrist after all.

Why Berger did what he did, whether he collaborated with any third party, the consequences of his deeds, all of this is still a mystery.

Given that Berger acted in his capacity as a former National Security Advisor, and Manning leaked the contents of a database open to a PFC Berger's misdeeds might have had more serious consequences than Manning's.

#12 a probe he condemned as "illegal".

He should know about illegal probes, shouldn't he?

#13 Why do I think that Wikileaks might have a ton of embarrassing cables concerning Britain and that is why Britain let him out on bond? But no - that's ludicrous. Britain would never give in to extortion and compromise it's principles just to avoid embarrassment - for money and power definitely (Lockerby affair), but embarrassment? Ha ha ha - No, Never!!
