    Assange: Biden, Palin, Huckabee Terrorists and Idiots, Should Be Put in Jail

    Bottom Line: There is no crime if there is no intent, i.e. if it's just "advocacy". So either they are criminals, or they are just BSters and shock-jocks.

    Riots in US streets.

    US Courts ruled in favor of Wikileaks against Julius Baer in 2008

    No one said then that it was handling of stolen property or that it was risking lives or jobs. A US judge ruled that this was a first amendment case and not of protection of private property or bank secrecy. So using this ruling, the wikigeeks cannot be accused even of terrorism or...
