Apparent Facts:

- AF OSI (the Air Force's own little internal FBI-like agency) investigates military members contacting Wikileaks / Julian Assange

- AF OSI is alleging that some service-members may be punished under UCMJ 104-D Communicating with the Enemy / Aiding the Enemy for communicating with Julian Assange

Unjustified Speculation:

- The US Military or US AF considers Wikileaks an Enemy of the State.

- The US Military is going to assassinate Julian Assange with a UAV drone.

Debatable, but likely (IANAL):

- This particular investigation case (involving those service members) is closed and it is unknown/classified regarding whether official charges were filed.

- UCMJ 104-D may also charge non-service-members for Aiding the Enemy (Google is embarrassingly unhelpful confirming or denying this for me)

- TechDirt is flame-baiting and fear-mongering (obviously their raison d'ĂȘtre)
