FTA: WikiLeaks right now is a giant pile of shit from a legal standpoint
What law has WikiLeaks broken?
More specifically, what law can be applied to WikiLeaks that cannot be applied to NYT, The Guardian and the other media that is publishing the leaks?
Also, how many laws have been broken by governments (the US and many others) as is reported in the leaks?

They'll do anything possible to make charges stick. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_Three_of_the_United_States_Constitution#Section_3:_Treason http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_Three_of_the_United_Sta... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espionage_Act_of_1917 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espionage_Act_of_1917 Eric Holder has publicly said that he's considering pursuing the charges over the Espionage Act.

By definition treason is only against your own country. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espionage_Act_of_1917 Assange got the documents from someone else, as the NYT did. Why is WikiLeaks or Assange charged with espionage while NYT isn't?
