Fair enough. Everyone does wish to influence your/our opinion. So I did overstate this point.

Assange may have committed offence: ADA
Quote:
Wikileaks founder Australian Julian Assange could have committed a serious criminal offence in helping an enemy of the Australian Defence Force (ADF), the lobby group, the Australia Defence Association (ADA) says.

Mr James said there were many alternative avenues available for legitimate dissent which did not endanger our troops.
"Moreover, as an Australian citizen, Wikileaks' Julian Assange may also be guilty of a serious criminal offence by assisting an enemy the ADF is fighting on behalf of all Australians, especially if the assistance was intentional," he said.

Australia is mentioned in some of the documents with the Australian Defence Department forming a task force to assess whether release of this information has endangered Australian troops.
Mr James said whatever Mr Assange's motives, his actions again highlighted the need to amend treachery laws to prohibit reckless assistance to an enemy.

On this point, I do agree. It is one thing for a civilian to show others material leaked to them, it is something else entirely for a soldier to actually leak material.
