...are probably looking at that, too. But I think they want to get him on espionage because they can spill his blood with that one.

And ain't it ironical that they are all so bent out of shape that someone dared to spy on their secret machinations and expose them to the world--someone with hifallutin global motives--and they can't wait to draw and quarter him, yet when our own loyal, patriotic, good 'ol U.S.A. mom-and-apple pie spies were spying on weapons of mass destruction, they got outed and their lives endangered all over the planet, and the guys who did it not only did not get smeared with trumped up "sex charges," they aren't in prison, where they surely belong (for treason, among other things) and they are running around free and may be plotting Bush Junta II as we speak.

Julian Assange is more dangerous than Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld? ????!!!!

The one--Assange--smeared, robbed, hunted--a Gitmo dungeon with his name on it waiting for him (or worse)--for the crime of journalism; the others--the mass murderers, the torturers, the rapists of children, the mind-boggling thieves, the violators of the Geneva Conventions, the UN Charter, the Uniform Code of Military Justice, the US Constitution and every human rights protocol on earth, whose loyalty to this country was perfectly expressed by their outing of our own intelligence agents--living in luxury, multi-billionaires, officially respected and honored, no fears whatever of investigation or prosecution, total immunity guaranteed by their successors, not to mention topnotch medical and dental.

How come our President doesn't say, "We need to look forward not backward" about Julian Assange?

No, I don't think they'll go for any lesser charge. If they can get past the world's abhorrence of our use of the death penalty, give up the lethal injection goal and can get him into custody somehow, they will want the harshest penalty possible--to permanently bury him in prison, probably in total isolation and quite possibly with other forms of torture, to find out what else he may know.
