Assange's 'poison pill' file impossible to stop, expert says

And, if it wasn't classified material, protected by the law of the land, you would be correct. What's more, you would know that it's illegally obtained classified material. It's just like buying a stolen lawnmower, that you know is stolen. Knowingly possessing stolen property is a crime in this country.

Ah, so if I download the wikileaks file which contains the encrypted classified documents, then you believe that I am breaking the law?

Even if you copy and paste some of the leaked cables you're stealing it (by some of the logic on here). :shock:

We should quickly arrest all the news agencies that have published anything from wikileaks.

CT is talking about releasing info that hasn't been previously released. If he cracks the encryption code and releases unreleased info, then yes, he's breaking the law.

But aren't people going after Assange for copying classified info, so isn't it the same thing?
 
apdst said:
Yes, CT would be doing the same thing as Assange.

But if you copy the info, to use an analogy that's been prevalent, aren't you simply geting stolen goods of someone else who got the stolen goods of someone who stole them?
 
this is awesome.

i've heard Assange has bank cables dealing with the bailouts. cables that would get the american people pointing the finger at the banks.....


i hope Assange is tested....and i hope he releases this info. bring it b!%ches....
