Traitors, Spies Lose Web Site

A web site called wikileaks.org was just shut down by a California court. According to a report in USA Today: A federal judge in San Francisco has shut down a Web site that posted more than a million government and corporate documents from whistleblowers and others alleging criminal acts worldwide. The BBC says tonight that "The site was founded in 2006 by dissidents, journalists, mathematicians and technologists from the US, Taiwan, Europe, Australia and South Africa. It so far claims to have published more than 1.2 million documents." One of the documents they leaked was one that purported to detail the daily activities at Guantanamo. Back in the good old days, the Americans involved with this would have been shot for treason and/or imprisoned for acts of sedition. I truly miss those days, and truly wish that these folks could legally be shot for, well, treason. I'm not sure what else to call it. Look up the terms "treason" and "sedition," and tell me how they are not guilty: Treason, sedition mean disloyalty or treachery to one's country or its government. Treason is any attempt to overthrow the government or impair the well-being of a state to which one owes allegiance; the crime of giving aid or comfort to the enemies of one's government. Sedition is any act, writing, speech, etc., directed unlawfully against state authority, the government, or constitution, or calculated to bring it into contempt or to incite others to hostility, ill will or disaffection; it does not amount to treason and therefore is not a capital offense.
