Washington Post: Assange 'Unlikely To Be Prosecuted In US'

Posted by timothy on from the he-never-calls-he-never-writes-oy dept.

vikingpower writes "The Justice Department has all but concluded it will not bring charges against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange for publishing classified documents because government lawyers said they could not do so without also prosecuting U.S. news organizations and journalists, according to U.S. officials." That "all but" probably wouldn't feel all that comforting if this announcement applied to me.

    Obama admin has said specifically that it will not prosecute dispensaries that are legal according to the law of the State.

    ***I'm smoking legal dispensary medicinal cannabis right now***

    Maybe one or two DEA divisions were bucking for a promotion...but Obama's policy is not to prosecute...

    You can **board airlines** with medicinal marijuana with your proof...the TSA doesn't bother you for small ammounts
