I support press freedom, but there is a clear line that was allegedly crossed here. The indictment alleges that Assange encouraged Manning to commit a crime and helped or tried to help gain access to a government computer system that he had no right to access. This is not a grey area at all. If they were charging him for publishing documents it would be a different story. If the case is as weak as many folks seem to be saying it is, then he will have a chance to make that case in court.
