The point is someone doing exactly what has been accused here, exactly, but to leak stories in support of whoever is in charge of various military branches. Would that same law apply for exactly the same thing? I strongly doubt it. "Unnamed official sources" Perjury is not exactly a novel prosecution to run, nor would be something setting precedent. This (right or wrong) sets precedent in it's interpretation and effect and will create case law either way it goes. Do you see the point I'm making? I can't see prosecution hesitating for a second to prosecute someone like Assange for perjury if there was even a hint of a case for it. That doesn't make Assange right and Clapper wrong or indeed say anything at all about that. It's just a worrying thing.
