The soldier that leaked the information could be convicted and
possibly executed under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
answers2: Since the killings are of Afghans, by Afghans, in
Afghanistan, the only country with jurisdiction to try him would be
Afghanistan. <br>

I will be honest and admit that I do not have a clue as to what Afghan
law might say as to the requirements for an accessory charge - or even
if their law even has such a charge. In addition, I do not know what
countries Afghanistan might have extradition treaties with. Also, the
Afghan judicial system is so messed up that even if a country had a
formal treaty of extradition with them, I doubt they would extradite
someone to face such charges there anyway. <br>

Edit.... <br>
WRG is completely wrong. The 1st Amendment to the US Constitution
applies only to legal actions in the US, or by the US government.
Assange is an Australian, Wiki-Leaks has no servers in the US, and any
legal charges would fall under Afgan law. The US Constitution is
completely irrelevant to his case. <br>

reason. This is a war - not a football game
