Original Message They want to lock up Julian Assange. But he hasn't broken any laws in Australia or USA. So how can they lock him up??? (Nobody knows what will happen to him in Sweden.) They can't lock him up just because they don't like him or what he does. That would be dictatorship.

"Prime Minister Julia Gillard again has been unable to name any Australian laws broken by the controversial WikiLeaks website or its founder Julian Assange."

"Opposition legal affairs spokesman George Brandis accused Ms Gillard of being "clumsy" with her language on the issue of illegality.

"As far as I can see, he (Mr Assange) hasn't broken any Australian law," he told Sky News.

"Nor does it appear he has broken any American laws."

Senator Brandis, a Queen's Counsel, called for any debate about the publishing of the cables to have a well-defined understanding of the difference between something which appeared to be morally wrong and an act which was illegal."
