Didn't get a chance yesterday to post Secretary Clinton's condemnation of the Wikileaks cable releases and her assurance that the State Dept. would withstand the challenges.
"To the American people, and to our friends and partners. I want you to know that we are taking aggressive steps to hold responsible those who stole this information…There is nothing laudable about endangering innocent people, and there is nothing brave about sabotaging the peaceful relations between nations on which our common security depends."
Th WaPo reports that Wikileaks founder Julian Assange could be charged under the Espionage Act:
"Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. said the Justice Department and Pentagon are conducting 'an active, ongoing criminal investigation.' Others familiar with the probe said the FBI is examining everyone who came into possession of the documents, including those who gave the materials to WikiLeaks and also the organization itself. No charges are imminent, the sources said, and it is unclear whether any will be brought."
Watch Clinton, AFTER THE JUMP…
