According to Attorney General Robert McClelland, the Australian government may press Sweden to prosecute Julian Assange and other members of WikiLeaks over the impending release of more classified data related to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Assange is an Australian citizen but has not been in the country since May, when he was harassed by officials at the Melbourne Airport. He has reportedly been in Sweden in recent months, though reports suggest Australian spies have been tracking his movements.
The ability to prosecute Assange for the leaks is unclear, since what he has done was not a crime in Sweden. McClelland insists the moves against Assange should not be about law enforcement, however, but rather should be about ensuring “responsibility” in the reporting on the war.
Please…the pentagon is reaching, and begging any ally to go after Assange on the groundless charges that the leaks will damage "Murder Inc" ( NATO & the US military ). Assange must continue to expose the real terrorists in the pointless war's that only benefit the profiteer's, and Amerika's petty ego.
So, it has openly come to the fact that the satellite lackeys of the FedGov seek to prosecute not to enforce some particular statute, but rather merely to punish smething they find offensive. Australia has joined the fine club of nations without the rule of law.
JA is not alone anymore. This is Andrew Wilkie's maiden speech to the new government:
