Le procureur général des États-Unis a autorisé des choses, mais ne dit pas quoi.
Wikileaks cables : US looks to prosecute Julian Assange | The Guardian

International pressure on Julian Assange intensified tonight, as the US attorney general disclosed that he had authorised “significant” actions aimed at prosecuting the WikiLeaks founder over the release of thousands of diplomatic cables.
The US attorney general, speaking at a press conference in Washington, said: “The lives of people who work for the American people have been put at risk. The American people themselves have been put at risk by these actions that I believe are arrogant, misguided and ultimately not helpful in any way. We are doing everything that we can.”
Asked if he might mount a prosecution under the Espionage Act, Holder said: “That is certainly something that might play a role, but there are other statutes, other tools at our disposal.” Holder added that he had given the go-ahead for a number of unspecified actions as part of a criminal investigation into WikiLeaks. “I personally authorised a number of things last week and that’s an indication of the seriousness with which we take this matter and the highest level of involvement at the department of justice,” he said.
He refused to say whether the Obama administration would try to shut down WikiLeaks. “I don’t want to get into what our capabilities are,” Holder said. “We are looking at all the things we can do to try to stem the flow of this information.”
Aux États-Unis, il y a donc encore des gens pour se demander comment on peut « endiguer le flot d’information » sur Internet.
Il me semble important de noter que personne n’ose se demander publiquement comment faire retirer les #cablegate publiés sur le site du #Guardian britannique ou du #New_York_Times qui, pour l’heure, présentent plus de câbles diplomatiques confidentiels que le site de #Wikileaks lui-même.
