Julian Assange, creator of Wikileaks, has been labelled an enemy of the state by the US military, the same label applied to Al Qaeda. Declassified counter-intelligence documents show that military members who contact Wikileaks or support Wikileaks will be charged with "communicating with the enemy," a charge wich holds a maximum penalty of death.
Vice President Biden had previously labelled Mr. Assange a "hi-tech terrorist."
Assange's US attorney, Michael Ratner, stated that "an enemy is dealt with under the laws of war, which could include killing, capturing, detaining without trial, etc."
Mr. Assange website released massive amounts of information that was released by Bradley Manning. This included video of US soldiers killing Iraqi civilians.
