No Link Between Assange And Manning
By Jerry Smith Jan 26 2011

U.S. military investigators announced that they have been unable to find a link between WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and Army Private Bradley Manning, the alleged source of the 'Cablegate' documents.
The investigators failure to establish any link between Assange and Manning means that it will be harder for the U.S. to press charges against Assange, and have him extradited to the U.S., possibly to face the death penalty.

People, mostly American right wingers, have been calling for the U.S to have Assange extradited to the U.S., charged with treason and sentenced to the death penalty. Lawyers for Assange have accused Swedish authorities of secretly planning to extradite him to the US as soon as it has built a criminal case against him.
"Why was he not pursued with the same urgency we pursue al-Qaeda and Taliban leaders?" asks Sarah Palin.
