The DOJ's 'New York Times problem' with Assange By HADAS GOLD | politico.com 11/26/13 4:39 PM EST WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will likely not face charges in the United States for publishing classified documents, because the Justice Department would not be able to do so without also prosecuting media organizations who do the same, The Washington Post reports. Calling it a "New York Times problem," Justice officials told the Post that if they indicted Assange, they'd also have to prosecute the Times, The Washington Post, and The Guardian for publishing classified leaked material from people like Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden. A formal decision has yet to be issued. “The problem the department has always had in investigating Julian Assange is there is no way to prosecute him for publishing information without the same theory being applied to journalists,” said former Justice Department spokesman Matthew Miller told the Post. “And if you are not going to prosecute journalists for publishing classified information, which the department is not, then there is no way to prosecute Assange.” Justice officials told the Post that the same distinction between leaker and journalist or publisher is being made between Manning or Snowden and Assange. Unless they can find evidence Assange did something like hack into government computers, he's being treated the same as a publisher. Manning and Snowden have been charged with violations of the Espionage Act. But during Manning's 2011 trial, online chat logs found on Manning’s personal computer show she sought advice about cracking passwords from a chat user listed as “Nathaniel Frank,” whom prosecutors said they linked to an e-mail address used by Assange, our colleague Josh Gerstein reported. The user alleged to be Assange replied that he had access to “rainbow tables,” a type of data set that can be used to convert an encrypted password into plain text. However since then, no other evidence emerged publicly of Assange, or someone who prosecutors said was Assange, asking Manning for records or to crack passwords to get access to records. On Twitter, WikiLeaks said they are "skeptical" about the Post report. "A smoke screen or is the US DoJ finally realizing that it has no case against (Assange)?" WikiLeaks tweeted. http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2013/11/the-dojs-new-york-times-problem-with-assange-178396.html?hp=l8

Probably a bad case of cabin fever responding to a new face.

Thanks for the B&D tip. You've probably cost me $45.

Trzinko, I take it that this was your first trip to Buenos Aires. Liked your brief report but wished you'd asked us questions about BsAs before going. I like this fabulous European styled and influenced city; ...have been there five times since 2005; the last was in 2011. During my visits I've stayed in apartments for four of them, and have loved this immensely. In terms of the 'boys' for rent you'll find them on www.ratonesonline.com and at www.soytuyo.com. I've hired from both. The guy's fees are reasonable, and most are tops [unfortunately] for some, but for me it was stellar to say the least. There's a restaurant called 'The Inside' which has super-hot strippers on Fridays and Saturdays. If you go try to go with someone. I also know one gay certified tour guide and one who escorts who my friend and I hired on my second trip and his first. He's on www.rentmen. ...don't know his new name, but at the time, for us, it was Chorch. If you or anyone wants to meet him, send me a pvt., and I'll connect with him on his Facebook page. If you want to use him as a guide, you plan the itinerary and go from there. Damn, I'll never forget him hooking me up with his friend. The best fuck in my life! Yes, indeed! I went back for seconds the next year and was joined by Chorch. Boy, did the both of them have me feeling good for the remainder of the trip. In terms of my second guide who's certified and with whom you can connect via google, he's more up and up in his dealings wtih clients. He doesn't necessary get into the escort scene, but he can refer you to go to different bars, etc. He also knows the streets where "taxi boys" hang out. Marcelo is a jewel for the cultural component although he did manage to contact two escorts for me during my second visit. He has a favorite, reasonably priced steak house to recommend, too! I've been there twice or three times with him. [Argentina is known for its beef! The Argentine men are rather hung and uncut, too! They have their own "beef" hanging between those powerful legs of theirs.] Again, thanks for reporting in. Hope you write more about the "Paris of the South."

After few days it is obviously time to tell few words about buenos aires. European style city, mix of madrid And paris i would say. They enjoy higher standard of living than brazilians, but i wouldn't say thay are happier. La brigada in san telmo is the place where i had the best stake of my life. The meat is so tender, that they cut it with a spoon. It is not cheap place, but worth every cent. It is also interesting to see the church, where current pope served as a priest. In boca you can see people dancing tango on the street. If it wouldn't be so hot i would stay longer. And if you want to go 150 years back go to cafe tortoni. History talks from the walls and cakes are of italian quality. Regarding manhunt, not much. I went to one gay bar and to 2 listed cruising areas. Nothing special to see. And i didn't notice anyone that would be interested to hook up with a visitor.

Another "trick" for reheating small portions without the soggies or other pathologies of microwaving is to get a countertop convection oven. I bought the $45 Black & Decker model pictured below a few months ago, and it easily handles 4 out of every 5 things I would previously have heated up the big oven for, or else put into the microwave with less than yummy outcome. Not only reheating, but baking/roasting of any fish, fowl or meat that will fit. It is high and deep enough to accommodate a medium-size whole chicken, boned leg of lamb, big salmon fillet, etc. Bakes cake well too, no hot spots -- not something I expected. Broils pretty nicely also. And toasts of course. Be careful to avoid some models, such as KitchenAid's current countertop convection oven model. I used to swear by all things KitchenAid but last year bought one of those, found it was no good at all, promptly returned for refund. Afterward I Googled for consumer reviews of same, and found many posts accurately reporting that model's "floppy toast" and other shortcomings. From that I learned the general habit of glancing at online consumer reviews before buying something. If 8 of 10 register the same complaint, there is likely good reason.

Julian Assange unlikely to face U.S. charges over publishing classified documents View Photo Gallery — The saga of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange: Julian Assange, responsible for one of the largest leaks of classified U.S. documents, has been holed up in the Ecuadoran Embassy in London since June 2012, when he was granted diplomatic asylum. According to high-ranking U.S. law enforcement sources, there is no sealed indictment or criminal complaint against the WikiLeaks founder, despite rumors that he was under investigation by the Justice Department. By Sari Horwitz, Published: November 25The Washington Post The Justice Department has all but concluded it will not bring charges against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange for publishing classified documents because government lawyers said they could not do so without also prosecuting U.S. news organizations and journalists, according to U.S. officials. The officials stressed that a formal decision has not been made, and a grand jury investigating WikiLeaks remains impaneled, but they said there is little possibility of bringing a case against Assange, unless he is implicated in criminal activity other than releasing online top-secret military and diplomatic documents. The Obama administration has charged government employees and contractors who leak classified information — such as former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden and former Army intelligence analyst Bradley Manning — with violations of the Espionage Act. But officials said that although Assange published classified documents, he did not leak them, something they said significantly affects their legal analysis. “The problem the department has always had in investigating Julian Assange is there is no way to prosecute him for publishing information without the same theory being applied to journalists,” said former Justice Department spokesman Matthew Miller. “And if you are not going to prosecute journalists for publishing classified information, which the department is not, then there is no way to prosecute Assange.” Justice officials said they looked hard at Assange but realized that they have what they described as a “New York Times problem.” If the Justice Department indicted Assange, it would also have to prosecute the New York Times and other news organizations and writers who published classified material, including The Washington Post and Britain’s Guardian newspaper, according to the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. WikiLeaks spokesman Kristinn Hrafnsson said last week that the anti-secrecy organization is skeptical “short of an open, official, formal confirmation that the U.S. government is not going to prosecute WikiLeaks.” Justice Department officials said it is unclear whether there will be a formal announcement should the grand jury investigation be formally closed. “We have repeatedly asked the Department of Justice to tell us what the status of the investigation was with respect to Mr. Assange,” said Barry J. Pollack, a Washington attorney for Assange. “They have declined to do so. They have not informed us in any way that they are closing the investigation or have made a decision not to bring charges against Mr. Assange. While we would certainly welcome that development, it should not have taken the Department of Justice several years to come to the conclusion that it should not be investigating journalists for publishing truthful information.” There have been persistent rumors that the grand jury investigation of Assange and WikiLeaks had secretly led to charges. Officials told The Post last week that there was no sealed indictment, and other officials have since come forward to say, as one senior U.S. official put it, that the department has “all but concluded” that it will not bring a case against Assange. A Justice Department spokesman declined to comment, as did former U.S. attorney Neil H. Mac­Bride, whose office in the Eastern District of Virginia led the probe into the WikiLeaks organization. In an interview with The Post earlier this month, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. said that Justice Department officials are still trying to repatriate Snowden, who has obtained temporary asylum in Russia, to stand trial. But Holder also said that the Justice Department is not planning to prosecute former Guardian reporter Glenn Greenwald, one of the journalists who received documents from Snowden. Greenwald has written a series of articles based on the leaked material. An American citizen, Greenwald has said he fears prosecution if he returns to the United States from his home in Brazil. Justice officials said that the same distinction between leaker and journalist or publisher is being made between Manning and Assange. One former law enforcement official said the U.S. government could bring charges against Assange if it discovered a crime, such as evidence that he directly hacked into a U.S. government computer. But the Justice officials said he would almost certainly not be prosecuted for receiving classified material from Manning. Assange has been living in a room in the Ecuadoran Embassy in London since Ecuador granted him political asylum. Assange is facing sexual-assault allegations in Sweden. Assange and some of his supporters have said the Australian national fears that if he goes to Sweden to face those allegations, he will be extradited to the United States. But current and former U.S. officials dismissed that defense. “He is hiding out in the embassy to avoid a sexual-assault charge in Sweden,” Miller said. “It has nothing to do with the U.S. government.” Julie Tate contributed to this report. http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/julian-assange-unlikely-to-face-us-charges-over-publishing-classified-documents/2013/11/25/dd27decc-55f1-11e3-8304-caf30787c0a9_story.html
