According to The Sydney Morning Herald, "Declassified US Air Force counter-intelligence documents, released under US freedom-of-information laws, reveal that military personnel who contact WikiLeaks or WikiLeaks supporters may be at risk of being charged with "communicating with the enemy", a military crime that carries a maximum sentence of death."

Since I support WikiLeaks, military folks should probably stay away from me...

The US military has designated Julian Assange and WikiLeaks as enemies of the United States - the same legal category as the al-Qaeda terrorist network and the Taliban insurgency.

From the OMG WTF department: four soldiers are accused of plotting to take over the U.S. Army base at Fort Stewart, do a little domestic terrorist bombing, and assassinate the president. One of them has already pleaded guilty to manslaughter charges in slayings of former soldier and his girlfriend, for knowing too much about the scheme.

Prosecutors say a murder case against four soldiers in Georgia has revealed they formed an anarchist militia within the U.S. military with plans to overthrow the federal government.
