Why doesn't the United States take direct action against WikiLeaks and the Founder of WikiLeaks?
It seems to me that the action of the Soldier who gave the files to WikiLeaks is clearly Treason and he should be tried for the crime of Treason and if found guilty, given the maximum sentence allowed by law.
But the actions of WikiLeaks are acts of War that are intended to do great harm to the US in general and to US Foreign policy specifically. That being the case, the US Government it would seem, has justification to take direct action against either WikiLeaks, the WikiLeaks founder, or both. The US should unleash an extensive computer attack against WikiLeaks and all of the IT infrastructure with the aim of deleting and destroying the data. The WikiLeaks found should be captured and brought to justice in the US or simply eliminated as a strong message to others that the US has long arms and the will to act.
