Islam Times – Joe Biden, the vice-president of the United States of America, announced that he ordered the judicial branch of the government to examine legal methods of arresting and trying Julian Assange, the Editor and Chief of WikiLeaks.


Islam Times reports that Joe Biden stated in Meet the Press that America is prepared to label Julian Assange a terrorist and accuse him of disrupting national security. He added: “I would argue that it's closer to being a high tech terrorist than, than the Pentagon Papers. But look, this guy has, has done things that have damaged and, and put into jeopardy the lives and, and occupations of people in other parts of the world. He's made it more difficult for us to conduct our, our business with our allies and our friends. For example, in my meetings, you know I meet with most of these world leaders, there is a desire now to meet with me alone rather than have staff in the room. It makes things more cumbersome. And so it is, it has done damage.”
It should be noted that WikiLeaks is a normal news website. According to American law, it has the freedom of publishing news and leaked documents. The judicial branch can only issue an arrest warrant for Julian Assange, the editor and chief of WikiLeaks, if he is charged with disrupting national security.
