Should the WikiLeaks staff be prosecuted?

While US state department restricts employee access to secret files... you can be sure that the WikiLeaks' staff is busy poring through an unimaginable glut of our secret documents (I understand it's documents that are all recent and not years old).

The need to sort through it all was clarified by WikiLeaks founder Julian Assage: "To have impact, it needs to be easy for people to dive in and search it and get something out of it."

And it's not just U.S. documents as the Jerusalem Post has noted:

Assange noted that Wikileaks also has material on Russian companies and politicians, pharamceutical companies, industrial espionage by the US, the energy industry, environmental issues, and finance.

Staff problems have exacerbated the ongoing analysis of all this data including the defection of some staffers who objected, on moral grounds, to the previous revelations concerning the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Some people are quite sympathetic to these "hundreds of Volunteers all over the globe..."

Talk about staff overload, Assange has apparently been sitting on "a full five gigabyte of documents" concerning his next target but this time it's a bank:

Is Bank Of America WikiLeaks’ Next Target?

Makes you wonder what might have happened had Julian Assange put all his efforts into creating a business or inventing a life-saving medical device or heading up an international relief agency instead of creating a sort of tabloid newpaper on steroids.

UPDATE: Now he's calling for the resignation of Hillary Clinton...

I just wish he and George Soros would mind their own ******* business.
