re: #366 Gus 802

It’s not that broad:

(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or
(iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and

Clearly Assange is engaged in line “ii”.

How is that clear? That is anything BUT clear. Simply opposing the government of the US, and publishing state secrets doesn’t make him anything other than engaged in espionage, at worst. Is there any actual reason to believe that he is attempting to intimidate or coerce anyone?

Jesus, I feel like words just mean whatever the hell people mean them to mean, lately.
