Net closes on Assange: arrest by British police expected in days

He can't be charged under the Espionage Act because of the legal precedent that was set not only by the two cases mentioned but also by the development of case law that came out of it, especially the Judge's conclusions that have been publicized and put into law.

Well, we have linked articles, and you can easily find more yourself, by folks with far more legal expertise than either of us, that say Assange very likely can be charged under that Act. Can you at least link to something that would validate your opinion ? I do not know one way or the other, except from what I have linked to, which although it points out that the Act has not been tested yet with regard to the Internet, argued that he could be charged. I expect our Justice Department will decide one way or the other soon enough as well. Thanks.
