The fiasco of waiting for the anticipated forced nudification of the American government and military by one citizen against the best interests of the 300,000,000+ strong collective is just too much to bear.

What is the point of any ally sharing with the US when their input might as well be published in a newspaper.

What is the point of any citizen going undercover for their country if their country can’t guarantee their cover.

How can the US play any diplomatic role when there is simply no privacy in their negotiations.

This situation is simply unacceptable.

There must be some provision in the US Constitution that would allow for Assange’s arrest and prevention of the publication.
