US Military Designates Julian Assange an "Enemy of State"

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday September 26, 2012 @02:27PM from the not-a-good-list dept.

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.'"

What's Nuremburg got to do with someone violating security on their job and passing on secret info he has access to? Do you even know what Nuremburg was about? His oath was in fact to obey his superiors appointed over him. I know as I once took the same oath. It's not up to some Corporal to decide what information needs to be disseminated and to who. He caused the death of many people with the release of that information. Bradley has no moral ground whatsoever.
