US Military Designates Julian Assange an "Enemy of State"
First time accepted submitter Cute and Cuddly writes in with some new Julian Assange news. "The U.S. military has designated Julian Assange and WikiLeaks as enemies of the United States — the same legal category as the al-Qaeda terrorist network and the Taliban insurgency. Declassified US Air Force counter-intelligence documents, released under US freedom-of-information laws, reveal that military personnel who contact WikiLeaks or WikiLeaks supporters may be at risk of being charged with 'communicating with the enemy.'"
if any country other then the US ever arrested a US president, Current or past, or any government official for that matter, for actions taken while in office serving the US, I would see it as justification to use the full might of the US military not only to return them to the US, but to ensure the country who did it never thought about doing it again.
I'm pretty sure quite a few other US citizens feel the same way and would not only support that action, but demand it from any sitting government. I'm also pretty sure these other countries know this and are more talk then anything else on the topic. But if they want to start a war, they can go ahead and so anything they want to do.
