WASHINGTON—Pentagon lawyers believe that online whistleblower group WikiLeaks acted illegally in disclosing thousands of classified Afghanistan war reports and other material, and federal prosecutors are exploring possible criminal charges, officials familiar with the matter said.

A joint investigation by the Army and the Federal Bureau of Investigation is still in its early stages and it is unclear what course the Department of Justice will decide to take, according to a U.S. law-enforcement official.

He said WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange had not been identified by the FBI as a target of the probe.

I doubt Sweden would ever extradite this whackjob, but if it's proven that the soldier in custody did give WikiLeaks the info, and it led to a single American, NATO, or Afghan death(which given the recent climbing allied casualties is likely), he should be charged with treason and get the same treatment as Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.

 

Don't give him a shot and let him fall asleep, but stand him in front of a firing squad or hang the bastard.
