I think it does. I'm no lawyer, however.
- scythe 15y agoI don't know, maybe in the most trivial "if it wasn't going to cause a problem, why were they hiding it?" sort of way. But it's not "reason to believe it could be used", it's "reason to believe it was to be used". That is, Anonymous would have to have thought that the Internet intends to use this to hurt the United States, that the people to whom they deliver the information -- people like you and I -- intend to harm the US. Not that they could, but that they would. Harming the US is not among my goals, nor is it among the goals of most people who will see the documents. That's where I think it gets up in the air. I don't think most Anons want to start a war, they just want the American people to protest government secrecy. Bradley Manning didn't get hit with "delivering defense information to aid foreign government" and considering the amount of egg he got on the military's face I'm sure they would've liked to.
