WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange handed himself in to British police

You mean like, say, Scooter Libby who leaked the Valerie Plame CIA information, directly risking her and all of her peer operatives?

You do recall he served ZERO time for it, and got away scot free.

And you do recall that all of the info Julian has published (mind you, he did not commit the crime of getting it) has put no one at risk, and people are trying to put him behind bars.

Just putting it in perspective. Cheers.

Wikileaks released a cable containing sites that are vital to security of the United States. Some of the sites were commonly known and others sites weren't known by a lot of people. Even the AP didn't publish the cable because they knew how sensitive it was.

Yes, Wikileaks released a cable showing how to cause serious damage to the United States.

More serious than the Plame leak.

That is because Scooter Libby was not the one who actually first leaked the information. It was Richard Armitage, formerly the Deputy Secretary of State.

Scooter Libby got nailed for actions during the investigation. He was convicted of obstructing justice, perjury and making false statements.

The Plame leak wasn't a big deal and there was no harm done by it. Just an opportunity for her histrionic husband to try to cash in on the opportunity, that is all.
